The Bogeyman Will Get You

摘要

Tune in to renan Almendarez Coello's morning radio show, and this is the sort of thing you might hear. A caller named Carlos has been on the air for the past three hours, desperately trying to woo back his girlfriend, Diana. Almendarez has finally persuaded her to allow Carlos in the house; now Almendarez commands Carlos to genuflect before her. He does. Take ofF your shoe, Almendarez tells Diana, and whack him in the face. She demurs. OK, then take two steps back, Almendarez says. She does. Now, he tells Carlos, lick the floor where her blessed feet stood. Carlos does. And Almendarez delivers the punch line: "Mira que es muy bueno con la lengua este buey!" ("This guy's good with his tongue!")
