Philadelphia Weekly Continues To Aid Racial Relations With New “Ask A Mexican” Column

Why do Mexicans wipe after No. 2 and then throw the crappy toilet paper into the trash can rather than flushing it away? So gross! Let’s try to put an end to that madness.Flushed Out
Dear Gabacho: ¡Felicidades! You’ve just stumbled upon the most surefire way to tell if a Mexican is fresh from the border— [...] See, flushing toilets remain a novelty in rural Mexico, so Mexicans new to this country treat public restrooms with the same anticipatory awe Japanese tourists save for Disneyland—hence, the long lines. Regarding the popó-gunked Charmin: Those precious few ranchos that do have indoor plumbing suffer from inferior pipes installed on the cheap by Mexico’s government. Anything heavier than last night’s menudo would rupture the sewage system and ruin the rancho’s water supply, so used toilet paper must go in the wastebasket.
Just one more proud moment at Review Publishing, LLP. Reminder: THIS COULD ALL BE YOURS FOR $25 MILLION! Although if your name is Carlos Mencia, you may be able to negotiate it down via an IP suit.

Philly Weekly got this from OC Weekly in Orange County, who’s been running it for ages, I believe.

Either way, it’s not even funny.

It’s true. Gustavo is an OC native and has been doing the “Ask a Mexican” column out here for two or three years now. The LA Weekly picked it up finally and I guess Philly decided it had a place for it in its heart as well. You’d think he’d write different ones for each city at least? Oh, syndication.
