Alquilar un Marido

They have this thing here called Alquilar un Marido (rent a husband). The first time I saw the sign I thought they'd pretty much hit the nail on the head. I mean, husbands are expensive and mostly useful in short spurts. Renting one seemed like a good idea.

Then I learned that these are really handymen. If you ask me, they got the name wrong. I'll bet the majority of women who call needing a handyman already have a husband who isn't very handy.

I rented my first two husbands today. David and his son David came to fix my heater. They're friendly and funny and very handy. They cost a lot less than most husbands I know and the heater actually works. I won't be filing for divorce any time soon.

Oh, my, this is hilarious!!! ;-)

You know, I'm originally a spanish speaker (Latinamerican), but not Argentinean, so I never heard the expression before... hehe :-)

When I first saw it, I thought my Spanish must be worse than I thought. That can be what I think it is. Well, in some ways it wasn't.
