Today, I am studying abroad in Mexico and someone asked me what it's like to be from Minnesota. I responded in Spanish, in front of thirty people, what I thought translated to, "If you get cold, you can just put on a jacket." Apparently, what I thought meant "jacket" actually meant "masturbate". FML

Actually, you are all missing the FML here. She used the word 'chaqueta' wich correctly means jacket in Spanish but in Mexican slang, 'chaqueta' means to masturbate. So in all fairness your spanish was correct but while in Mexico you may want to stay with 'Chamarra' instead of 'Chaqueta' when referring to your jacket.

the humidity is so bad, were actually hotter
than the deserts of arizona.
it's summer, and my summer job consists of going outside.
so don't complain.

Thanks for the warning, dude, I'm currently learning Spanish and didn't realize that (to make matters worse, I live in Texas, so most Spanish speakers here use the Mexican dialect)

Folks, pay no attention to this person. They are the person who walks around in four feet of snow in shorts and a t-shirt. In other words, they are the lucky type of minnesotan native
