On the lighter side . . .

A young Christian went on a mission trip to Mexico and while there fell in love with the food. He got to eat in many of the homes where they did building projects and found one dish he especially liked because it tasted like chicken. He wanted to be able to order it in Spanish when he got back to the states, so he would always ask what it was, and would always get the reply "no pregunta" so he memorized and practiced it. When he arrived back home, he could hardly wait to get to the local Mexican restaurant. When the waiter asked for his order, he proudly said, "No Pregunta!" The waiter looked a little shocked and went away. After a while the manager came to him and said, wouldn't you like to order something? He said, I have already ordered and they haven't brought it yet. The manager called the waiter over and inquired as to why he was not bringing the man his order. The waiter answered, I asked him what he would like to eat and he said "No Pregunta!" The excited customer affirmed his order, looking into the managers puzzled face. The manager replied, No pregunta means "Don't ask" . . .
