Damn Llamas

Quick backstory: my older sister has a horrifically ignorant coworker. When speaking to someone named, say, Jose, she kept repeatedly (with increasing volume) saying 'Como se llama?' to the man. He has lived in the United States his whole life, has spoken English his whole life, and so on.

She sent me this email earlier -
This is an email from como se llama. Find the sentence that really has me irked off. Keep in mind we have a department full of women with only 2 men. Also, I am very much anti-United Way and will not be forced into buying food to feed the entire floor. No way Jose.

Subject: Taco
I am going to Sam's today and while I'm there I am going to look into the prices on the supplies we need. I know that we will not buy everything in bulk but I figure this will at least give us a better idea about how much it is going to cost. Here is a list of the items we need. If I am forgetting anything please let me know.
hamburger
fritos
cheese
sour cream
lettuce
tomatoes
salsa/taco sauce
forks
napkins
It has also been suggested that we sell deserts w/ the tacos. So for those of you who do cook, or have wives that cook, be thinking of a desert item you would like to bring in and sell.
Thanks, M


That makes me smile. Today, 'smile' = 'despise M with the burning intensity of 1,000 suns'.
