  1. LMAO!!!! I loved these!! I may actually show them to my relatives after I've gotten them to understand some English 🙂 I'm visiting family in Mex @ the moment and they've asked me to give them some lessons... I like a lot of the stuff you have in here, and these were hilarious! Thanks for the Good Time 😀

  2. Dear Hyper Chic

    I can't take the credit as most of these gems have been sent to me by visitors to my web site.

    I have used them myself in English lessons in the past and they always get a laugh (for advanced students only though). Good luck with your relatives. Have a nice time in Mex!
