SMART TALK by Dr. Tilde Cedilla
SWAT I SAID: On a lecture trip to Ivy University in snowy Upstate New York, I visited a soup-and-sandwich shop and fell into a chat with a local.
"How do you people deal with this weather?"
"Weather? We get a lotta this inna winner. We're sicka talkin' boud it. Everybody on campus is talkin' bout Eejupt."
"About what?"
"Eejupt. You know, inna Middle East. I think it's near Africa."
"Oh, you mean Egypt."
"Swat I said. Eejupt. They kicked out that guy, Whatisname, and didn't fire a shot. Lot bettern that Mission Accomplished crap, doncha think?"
"On that we can agree, my friend."
Returning to the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired in sunny Texas, I couldn't help enjoying the irony of winner weather.
