The banker said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play guitar with your amigos." To which the Mexican peasant responded: "But I am already doing that Señor...." A great Story Tom, a lot of wisdom in it... truly! Here is another one.... A gringo tourist in Mexico, we will call him George, is walking around the Mexican country side, and he feels hungry. Wanting to be free from time constraints, he left his watch in the hotel room, so he wanders if it is lunch time... He finds a peasant taking a siesta laying by a tree with a cow near him... George asks him for the time of day, to which Juan responds by holding and lifting a bit the cow's tit-bag <g>, and then says: It is 12:10 Señor. Puzzled, the man goes to the nearby town and estimates that took him 10 minutes to walk, asks for the time, and it is 12:20. After lunch, he decides to walk back where sleepy Juan was and wants to find out how he did that, with that in mind, he picks up his watch and makes sure he has the right time. He arrives, and sure enough Juan is still there, with the cow besides him, so the George asks Juan for the time again. Juan goes through the same procedure of lifting and feeling the cow's tit-bag, and responds, it is 1:45 Señor. George checks with his watch, and the time is exactly 1:45, really puzzled this time George asks Juan: How do you do that, is it the weight of the milk? or the temperature? How can you tell the time by feeling the cows tits. Oh simple señor, I have to lift the bag, so I can see the clock in the cathedral tower in town.... p.s. You can also tell the story with a Bull... <g> or a Burro <GG>
