Hommage to Catalonia
Ok, so for all the 'not initiated', a short joke as an introduction to the eternal fight between Catalonia and the rest of Spain.....
A guy from Madrid steps into a bar
in Barcelona. 'A beer please' he asks the waiter. 'Makes 95 cents ' the waiter tells him in Catalan as he serves the beer. The guy pays him 90 cents. The waiter remarks --again in catalan-'It's 95 cents not 90, there are still 5 cents missing'. The guest pretends not to hear. The waiter now, more angrily, tells him in Catalan : 'Listen, I'm not gonnatake this from you, you are already owing me ten cent, five today and five yesterday'. The Madrid guy still doesn't show any reaction. At this the waiter bursts out in pure Spanish: "Hey, you are understanding me perfectly, so pay me the money right now you bastard!!!!"
At this the guy from Madrid grins at him maliciously, takes out his purse and while he hands
over the money to the waiter tells him : "I knew you would end up talking Spanish to me for five cents, you loser !"
