My uncle (born and raised in MI) couldn't find work up there so he's renting an apt. in El Paso and drives over the border into Mexico for work every day. He sent this email to my aunt a few days ago.
Now I think I've experienced it all.
I was at the Flextronics plant today to solve a couple of issues they had. The plant manager insisted on taking me out to lunch. I didn't really want to go because I'm afraid of what real Mexican food would do to me but decided it wouldn't be polite to turn him down. We went to a local restaurant he likes, sat down and ordered lunch. Before we were served a half dozen guys walked in locked the doors and went around and collected all of the cell phones (politely) in a pillow case. They then proceeded to sit down and have lunch. No one else was allowed in and no one in was allowed out. They finished in about an hour and before they left, the big guy who collected all the cell phones walked around giving them back. He had collected probably 30 cell phones and was able to walk up to a table and without asking, return the proper cell phone to each person just by reaching into the bag and pulling one out, never saying a word. How he could remember who's was who's was beyond me. They then unlocked the doors and left. It turns out the head guy was a high up in the cartel. He also paid for everyone's lunch and told us to have a nice day.
Any how, thought you would like the story.
My poor uncle probably spent that lunch thinking it was his last
