Very interesting things are said when people don’t think you can understand them.
The other week when I was at UMB to meet with Luis Alonso-Ovalle, I overheard two custodians engaged in the following conversation, translated from the Spanish.
Custodian 1: Yes, Guatemala has lots of mangoes
Custodian 2: But Colombia has more cocoa
Custodian 1: Ah, but Guatemala has bigger mellons!
Custodian 2: Yes, Guatemala does have hotter women
