A friend of mine, who recently came back from a Philippine vacation, told me a similar thing. He said that at one fruit stand, there were several racemes of Seņoritas and he asked the lady there how much they were, she replied, "40 Pesos". To which he responded, "I don't want all of them. Just one." And she said, "That's just for one!" Feigning surprise, he retorted, "Really???? Well, in that case, can you lower the price a little?" To which she replied that he can go somewhere else. Boy!, was his wife so embarrassed. I told him that I would be, too. The rat. At the time, the exchange rate was 53 Pesos to $1!
