This morning, on the way back from the gym, I saw a man pick up a wooden dresser. The dresser was about six feet tall, about twice the size of the man (as is generally the case in Guatemala, where the men are very small), and had to have weighed over one hundred pounds.

In the States two, or possibly three, men would have been employed for this job. If the task involved moving the dresser more than a couple of feet, a vehicle would have been involved.

This guatemalteco tied a rope around the dresser, removed his hat, strapped said rope to his forehead, placed his hat back on his head, and promptly walked off.

He walked off with a dresser strapped to his forehead.
