| mmmm, I just bought a new DVD player for 399 pesos, okay the brand name is Vsonic, not Philips, but I really don't think s/he�ll get 650 for a used DVD player. |

A three-drawer desk.
Unless you're confusing cajones with cojones.  |

| A three-balled desk. Is that like a claw-footed table, or a four poster bed? My desk doesn�t have any balls, that I know of. What are they good for? |

Re: brushing up on the slang
Fats, open up your dictionary, the only one I have here at the house is a Larousse. It is horrible, but it has cajon. I prefer the Chicago. If you are that lazy, there are at least 4 translating sites on the net. I prefer the IM paralink. Teach yourself to be bilingual and it will be very rewarding. |

I can't leave any of you alone for a minute...look what happened to my thread! 
Desks with balls...the nerve of some people.
The good news about that DVD player is that if she doesn't sell it, then I get it for free!!! naw, I'm kidding. Ms. Teacher is going back to Oz to marry her Mexican fiancee and live happily ever after. |

| What a good person you are to realize and accept your error. We all learn from our mistakes. As a teacher, or wannabe, look it up next time. It could save you from appearing untrained in front of your students. cwc |

| Untrained in Spanish? Pretty much a moot point teaching English? And if not, what a great way to get students talking about having the cajones to teach. |
