Well FleaFlick, you are exactly right; this is indeed America and because of that I am perfectly willing to accept your Italian origins of capeche and I wholeheartedly agree you can use capisce or capsici whenever or wherever you choose.

As for me, I'll continue to use capeche, just as I have for almost as long as I can remember. If you take offense to the extent you'll have a couple of goombahs you know down in my neck of the woods over to my house to "talk" about it, that would be fine. I'll open a bottle of vino and we can discuss capeche, capisce, capisci or blow it out your ass all night long if that's what's needed.

I've upgraded my assessment of you from "too fukkin' dumb to figure out a joke" to "overly sensitive". I'm thinking you spent the time you enjoyed in the restaurant bizz to work your way through law school. You now are a proud member of the ACLU and you're fighting injustice wherever you may find it. In this case it's The Dark Side, where there are meanies (or in this case a singular meanie) poking fun of Taco Town employees. I admire your rectitude and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

In the unlikely event you'd care to turn the tables and poke fun of what I do or have done for work, I'll provide a list from as far back as I can remember. Capeche?

Picked up my toys
Cleaned up after the dog
Did my homework
Paper route
Mowed lawns (unlike KK, I admit that)
Washed cars
Washed dishes at the Officer's Club
Bagged groceries
Furniture store after school and weekends
Warehouse
Air Force
Warehouse/school (where I majored in G.I. Bill and recreational drugs)
Power pole inspector
Lumber mill on the rez in Hoopa
Built sailboats
Construction/Painting
Installation of various systems for Naval Electronics
More painting
UPS/painting/school
X-ray

So there you (mostly) have it. There are a couple of other things I've done for money; like going with a Hell's Angels acquaintance of mine to pick up delinquent funds from deadbeats, but those were from different times and attitudes in my life and don't reflect on who or what I am now.

Go ahead; make fun; chuckle away; have a good laugh. It's The Dark Side...
