Alejandra hid a surprise for all those envious friends of hers with whom shared the same territory on the beach every year. She came up the first day of the summer season wearing a fashionable bikini and a long tatoo that went along her back. It was the lyrics of a famous song in English, which obviously made her friends exclaim how amazing the tattoo was. She was sure she'd be the summer's queen. She heard twenty five times at least: "¡Cómo mola!" (=how cool!)
Until the moment when a British lecturer suffering from hangover in his way back to the hotel saw the tattoo on Alejandra's back and said in a macaronic Spanish in front of her friends:
"You, girl... Who on earth has written that piece of shit on your back? How can a tattooist make so many spelling mistakes in just four lines?"
