Narcapulco

Suspected drug traffickers trapped in a safe house fought a furious gun battle with Mexican soldiers early Sunday in the beach resort city of Acapulco.

As terrified residents and tourists cowered in their rooms, the firefight raged for two hours, leaving 16 gunmen dead. Two soldiers were also killed and several bystanders were wounded.

The gunmen, suspected members of one of Mexico’s major cartels, threw as many as 50 grenades at the advancing soldiers, and both sides fired thousands of rounds from assault rifles.

After the battle ended, soldiers found at the house nearly 50 guns, two grenade launchers, 3,500 rounds of ammunition, luxury cars — and four bound and gagged state police officers who said they had been kidnapped earlier.

Tourism is Mexico’s third-leading source of legal foreign revenue.

Cindy, maybe we should buy a motel in Mexico?

    I have wanted to live in Mexico for a very long time. I am, after all, Mexican in mind and heart. I am not afraid of a little gunfire. That’s for pinche babyfoots.

    It’s getting to be time for me to offer my award-winning course, How To Be a Mexican. It is a face-to-face class. Contact me for enrollment information.

    I’d fly to Texas for that.

    Bueno, Kelsey. You won’t be disappointed.

    Perhaps we should simply schedule a class for the next clusterflockstock, to save people time and money. But if y’all can’t wait, I’m ready.

    Deron, I recall that you expressed an interest in this class at one point, as a means of understanding why your car is always hit by baskets in the Fiesta parking lot. I’m here to ayuda.

    Cindy, I think I’m also going to need help with:

    Standing in line? Oh, you were standing in line?

    and

    This would be a good place to put my shopping cart!

    and finally (perhaps this is the master class)

    Turn lane? What turn lane?

    So you can adequately prepare, I’ll need your expertise regarding:

    Hey baby, does your pussy like ice cream?

    and

    If I sit with my cock out, maybe she’ll come over and sit on it.

    Mijo, all of this will come clear to you after taking my course, How To Be a Mexican(tm). Really. Daryl took the course years ago and, apart from his persistent anger problem, he is a much happier person.

    Thank you, Kelsey. I am prepared.
