Y fumar un burrito

[fellmama]

For my Latin seminar tomorrow, I was assigned to read and review La predicación cristiana antigua by Alexandre Olivar.  It's about 900 pages long, and, as you may have guessed, is written in Spanish.  I mention this to explain why I happened to be flipping through 501 Spanish Verbs.  In "Thirty Practical Situations for Tourists," I came across the following gems: "¿Puede ayudarme?  Busco una tienda de limpieza en seco" (Can you help me?  I'm looking for a dry cleaner's)  "¿Hace usted tinturas?" (Do you do dyeing?) and the ever popular "Las manchas en esta corbata son de sopa" (The stains on this tie are from soup).  On the next page ("In a hair stylist shop for men and women"), we have "Me gustaría un corte revuelto.  Primero, un champú, por favor" (A crazy-ass hairstyle would be agreeable.  First, a shampoo, please.)  I'm not sure how practical these situations are, but now I know how to say there's soup on my tie.  And as the Spanish would say, de sopa y amor, la primera es mejor.
