Missed a great score today

[nsfd95]

Came across a crew of guys dropping four nice honey locust 12" to 18" round about 60' foot tall, straight as an arrow. They didn't understand my English and I sure as hell didn't understand their Spanish. Does anybody know how to say "Can I have the wood?" In Spanish?

Not around here. The whole eastern half of Long Island would shut down. Especially this time of year. Gotta keep those mansions looking good.

You can also use sign language. Start with, "No comprende Espanola." Then point to the wood and then to yourself. If you have a tape measurer, show them how long you would like the wood. Then break out some Cerveza (beer). They will comprende for sure.

Reminded of having my first new house built in 1977. When I would go by to check on progress the whole crew would huddle at the back of the lot and the one guy that spoke English would hurry out to greet me smiling and keeping me out front.

But funniest was the contract right of way trimmers here in Virginia a few years ago. They spent the day up in the trees talking really nasty about me in Spanish. As they were packing up I spoke disparagingly of their mothers, in Spanish. Guess they didn't think guys that grew up in West Texas moved to Virginia.
