Pay up; the mule is your stubborn refusal in animal form.

Same tank, different paths; sharing the water without losing your shape.

Years lived outweigh a reputation for mischief; mileage beats the mask.

In this system, if you do not climb over others, you stay grounded.

Find the middle ground where you are neither deprived nor ridiculous; not too little, not too much.

Agarrado plays on tight-fisted and holding on for dear life: the old woman white-knuckling a motorcycle is the same energy as someone clinging to their wallet.

Won’t help, and won’t let anyone else finish the job either.

A place so remote that even the devil bails, underwear and all.

Patience in the spirit, crude resistance in the backside: a Venezuelan joke for bureaucracy, annoying people, and close friends who trade a knowing smile.

To each their own, a lighthearted nod to quirky obsessions.
