Sigh...I didn't get it either, until reading the link.
FWIW, Exxon's name was ESSO, supposedly until they found out that the spoken word was a vulgarity in Japanese.

John try to remember,(I often forget) that most of the rest of the half of the world is not Tejano,+ does not savvy our lingo...to their shame.

I feel no shame here Gents - hell we both live in English speaking countries and half the time I dont understand you lot ...

True that especially when one gets excited + starts talking fast.Back in the 60's + early 70's when we Texans would go to Europe we were treated different than Americans ;they honestly seemed to know that we were from another country + it was not the USA.I doubt we would get the same respect today,but who would?

Was born within a mile of the Rio, went home with a hispanic family due to an error by the nuns at the hospital, lived my life there until college, and still don't get it. Sorry!

ok lemme see if i can clear this up. it is i now realize a regional expression. i heard it from an inmate during a transport a few years ago and just remembered it and thought it would be a good one to post. guess not.
in texas, new mexico, arizona etc (i have lived in all 3, two briefly) the term "ese" is as to the rest of the world "dude" or "guy".
so here, "que tal ese" translates to "whats up guy".
remember the old cheech and chong movies/tapes? you'd hear "looking good ese" and so on.
the joke is a play on words. she was told to "do" an essay(written paper) over the weekend so being blonde she "did" an ese. simple as i can make it. like i said, i shoulda realized it a regional thing. ese

Well Amigo when you have to explain it as we all know,the punch line is shot.I liked it FWIW. Also Lavaca,thanks for sharing.

yea i think it was pretty well DOA anyhow

John c
I got it.
I found it a funny play on words, language, ethnic background. Maybe it is a bit dependent on ones age too.
Of course I loved the picture of a work crew at lunch setting around in their "vato loungers" that went around a few years ago.

Yep,descriptive nomenclature changes over the years,I.E,when I am off in thoughts,I am 'gathering wool' + one of my favourite expressions is "Suffering Cats".The past is another country;they do things differently there.

It was funny. But what was even funnier was that you had to spell it out for folks!!!

Learned something today. I guess you could call this an educational web site. (sort of)
