I remember a shopping trip to Casa Nelson in POP with a friend, looking for dishes. The sales people thought we were totally nutz when we put each plate on the floor for a "wobble" test so when the plates were used, you didn't have to chase the steak around the table when you tried to cut it! Hey, you know who, remember that? Haha
LOL- Broke my watch last trip- took a ride into town looking for a "cheapie" to get me through the week. Found one for 200p, though it was a "casio"(cheap brand). Later noticed it was a "cassiq"... a rip off of a generic!!!
Yes, quite clever and recycling-minded too!
By the NPH orphanage in Ramon Santana they use a red flag system for when the cane trains are coming by over the road. One day I saw a guy with a red shirt literally rip off his shirt and start waving it at the car in front of me because he had dropped his "real" flag down from the watch tower--of sorts. I had to LOL (one must go slowly anyway because the tracks aren't exactly smooth sailing so I was at a crawl behind this person.)
I couldn't possibly forget that! I still have that wobbly dish set....it's a feature that all guests from back home HAVE to see when they visit! :cheeky:
I saw a fellow once, walking somewhere in the campo, wearing a t-shirt advertising a feminine product, one of those with wings, saying "Nice boobs, huh, momma."
He was singularly unaware of what his t-shirt said.

LOL--along those lines...
I had brought a bunch of canvas tote bags down from the US (very handy things). Many of them were freebies I was given at Public Health conferences (Many include anti-lice and other icky critters). One of our workers asked if they could have a bag (I had a box of these) and I said "sure--pick one out." The one she picked out was a promo bag (with zipper and everything including pockets) with 'MONOSTAT VAGINAL YEAST CREAM' written on both sides with interesting subtitles such as "gets at the itch at the source" or something like that. I had JUST come here and tried to communicate what this meant but she was undeterred because she wanted the one with the zipper!
Standing one day in front of the dairy cooler in Playero, Sosua. I gave the very attractive floor clerk a sour cream container that had expired by 2 weeks. I thought I would have a good laugh and ask her what happens when sour cream expires like this one, her answer "we just increase the price!!!:ermm:
Why the hell not? At that point, it's no longer mere sour cream. By then, it's probably cottage cheese, which may cost more.
:ermm:
The largest and probably most expensive Ive ever seen... This past Saturday night in Cabarete. A very nice looking Yukon-ish jeepeta with Big Silver block letters badges in all the normal places...of the Worlds largest automaker... "J" MC... yep...not GMC, but JMC....
