Fun With Spanish

On Drunken Hotels:
It was Finding A Hotel Time and I was viewing some rooms that Mrs Hotel had on offer. I asked her, "que habitacian esta mas borracho?", "which room is more drunk?"  She laughed and corrected me, "barata", not "borracho", which is actually what I wanted: "cheap".

On the Color Purple:
I sat one morning in the market, having a hot chocolate (in a bowl large enough to bathe a child) and an equally large bun to dip (bathe) in it, and I was listening to the music on the stereo. A singer was crooning away, "estoy en morado", and I thought: oh excellent, I get to practice my colors! "I am in purple!" I love wearing purple, but huh? After some research, I realized, "estoy enmorado" is "I am in love."

A Threesome:
One of my favorite moments, early on in coming out of my Spanish shell, was after a dinner with Avid Alex and Partner Kathy. Someone had snarkily pointed out the Orgasmo De Chocolate on the menu for dessert, even though none of us were actually willing to express an interest in consuming something rich enough to be called "Orgasmo".

But I said to the waiter, using the "would like" conjugation of "to want" in fluid Spanish and pleasing my dining companions muchly: "Please, we would like one orgasm of chocolate, but three spoons."
