Prolife,

>>> 8) Do not attempt to eat tamales without first removing their corn husk casing. Everyone will instantly know that you're a Yankee. <<<

I hate to admit it, but I was "instantly" identified as a Yankee when I moved to California from Illinois in 1977. I did the very thing forbidden by #8. My words were more or less, "No wonder Mexicans are short, they eat shit like this all the time". Apparently the height of Mexicans is attributable to some cause other than eating Tamales; however, ignorance is definitely the cause of Yankee displays of stupidity. Or is it that stupidity is the cause of Yankee displays of ignorance?

I have since learned to enjoy some Mexican dishes, not all, but some. My favorite is a shredded beef Enchilada. Still can't handle the really hot peppers and sauces, though. It must be the Wisconsin German & Polish fed farm boy in me that won't let the really hot stuff in.
