    After 37 years, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Juan to get up the mountain to pick the coffee beans. Finally, he decided it was time to throw in his poncho.

    Give the guy a break. You wouldn't want him to overexert himself. After all, nobody like a his-panic attack.

    I had a friend in college whose telephone answer message was "hello, my name is juan baldez. I am out picking coffee with my donkey. Please leave a message."

    I always think of Uncle Timmy when I hear about juan b.
