Fuego Volcano Erupt in Guatemala, Spewing Out Vast Amounts of Smoke and Lava

#10  So this group of people is out of country, and sit down at the local restaurant.

Waiter comes up, says something unintelligible. Group of people all make that face when presented with this situation. Again, waiter speaks, and finally one of the group says, "We Do Not Speak Your Language."

Waiter, speaking slower and louder, says, "I'm from Boston!"

#2  previous eruptions were in 2018

the peak of the volcano is about 12k feet

probably no consequences to the stratosphere as it is about 50k feet at that latitude

#1  Amigo to Guatemalteco:
"¡Señor, favor, leggo mi Eggo!"

That the two quickly rued
As they stewed in a lago of fuego.
