during siesta

between 1 and 3pm it would get too hot outside in puerto vallarta so we would retreat to the room and watch an american cable channel that would shows reruns of "3rd watch" and "er" or play decent movies that i had just happened to miss while they were in theatres

one movie was "the war" starring elijah wood and kevin costner
in one specific scene, kevin costner's character is having a flashback of the vietnam war and watching a vietcong soldier kill his best friend

witty as i am i turned to heather,

and i asked, "did xuan-thy kill him?"

and she replied "yeah....... wait a minute. did you say xuan-thy?"

i still can't stop laughing
