Mas coke por favor

His name is John. At first glance he's rather odd, perhaps even a little scary. No, not scary, just one of those characters you really aren't sure what opinion you are to form. Michael gave him a chance, and he asked me to. So I did. Unfortunately, the world we live in today is accustomed to pretending to be completely oblivious to those not like them selves. Well, John isn't just a little different. Let's just get it out there. He is a 40 year old black man who's most desperate attempt to appear to be heterosexual ends in a flamboyant tirade. For a while, John had alot to offer, with a really interesting outlook on life and an honest way of keeping the conversation going. He also really knows how to end it. Our end conclusion is that really he doesn't have a clue.
Case example:
John insists on taking us out to dinner to celebrate the "newlyweds". We travel down to the tiny German village and find an Italian restaraunt. Our waiter who is Italian, can also speak German and probably about 50 english words. Waiter walks up and asks in very broken english "IS everything ok?"
John... "MAS COKE POR FAVOR"
wtf.
Again. Waiter walks up. "Is everything ok?"
John... with a meek and nervous yet quick response "Si, Si, es muy bueno"

The man can only speak, Italian, since he's from Italy, German since he resides in Germany and very broken English since it is becoming a world language and John chooses to respond in SPANISH. Not to mention,I have never heard a more gringo accent

Today during the fireworks festivities, John begs Michael to please help him understand how email and ext messaging works. He also continues to ask Michael how he's doing in school even though Michael has now been in Germany for 3 months.

John, we truly truly love you.

The adventures await us.
