it's good to have American friends in foreign countries...

... because then you can have a conversation such as the following and fully appreciate it.

Scene: Julie Ann and Beth walking down typical Spanish street filled with motorcycles (motos).

Julie Ann: You know, I have to admit... motos are pretty hot.

Beth: Well, that depends.

Julie Ann: On what?

Beth: Well, like if it's a Harley or if it's a "got-room-for-one-more-if-you-still-wanna-go-to-Aspen."


Few things satisfy more than a well placed quote from an endearing American classic such as Dumb and Dumber... even more so when the people with whom you interact daily are (to no fault of their own) incapable of appreciating such genius.

"LLOYD, when I think you couldn't be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and TOTALLY redeem yourself."

Now Beth and I play the "hot or not" game with the motos we see. In case you're wondering, the new Vespas = hot.
