When Will You Guatemalans Learn?
February 22, 2008My favorite news story of the year:
“Veteran actor Omar Sharif has been ordered to pay $318,000 in damages to a car park attendant he punched in 2005. The Doctor Zhivago star was leaving Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, California when he tried to pay Guatemalan valet Juan Anderson for his car in euros. When Anderson pointed out euros aren’t a valid currency in the U.S., Sharif hit him in the head and called him a ’stupid Mexican.’”
Oh, Zhivago… you had me at “stupid Mexican.”
