TO YOU IN OUR COUNTRY?
I arrived unconscious to the hospital because of an intoxication and when I woke up a few minutes later, the doctor asked me: “Ma’am, can you hear me? What kind of pills or medications have you taken so far? “And with my basic Spanish (in 2002), I answered:”cabrón (fucker) pills! “The doctor laughed and said:” She’s fine, is already making jokes “, but what I meant was carbón (coal) pills
