Sometimes

something perfect just drops in your lap. I received this email today. No context is necessary.


Dear Rachel,


You had some trouble telling real gipsies from fake ones when we were in Spain so I am sending a picture of a real one. This was on the news today ( http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/01/12/cultura/1263311606.html ). In a nutshell, the guy in the picture ran someone over and killed him three years ago while he was driving around without a license (he was 14). He drove away but someone saw what happened and the police caught him and put him in prison. Three years later he is free and his family went to jail to pick him up, you can see them in the picture. He is a very famous flamenco dancer. Also, he got married while he was serving in jail to a gipsy woman. She was subject to the white handkerchief test before the wedding, just the way a proper gipsy wedding should be. I thought you would like to know this. If you had had your waxing done in Zaragoza I believe you would have been subject to the handkerchief test too. For more information, google "Farruquito". Happy new year!


Steve, I think this is blog material
