shopping for socks
A Mexican visiting the United States goes into a store to buy a pair of socks. He speaks no English and the clerk doesn't know a word of Spanish.
Through pantomime, the Mexican tries to explain what he needs, without much success.
The clerk brings out shoes, then tries sneakers, then slippers, then laces, all to no avail.
Finally, he brings out a pair of socks and the Mexican exclaims, "Eso si que es!"
Says the exasperated clerk, "Well, for crying out loud. If you could spell it, why didn't you say so in the first place"?
