I do not know, honestly, why are created or follow rituals or ceremonies or traditions that have neither head nor tail. On Friday, seventeen, I was in the house of an aunt on the occasion of the graduation of his son of the EMCH (Chorrillos Military School), where he delivered the much-prized 'gallons'. I think more was the pressure to take my beloved parent to this meeting that my desire to want to visit a relative of mine. In fact, when we arrived, me with a pole and her jeans, gave us the surprise "My mother always looking from the outside of the window that there were people in intrined and formal, then we did not think anything but fly back, if my car could fly would have done, no doubt, go home and get something more formal. I her a shirt and slacks. To go back and enter again, the military town, we headed home more confident those already mentioned and as soon as we entered we saw with another surprise: o mother had been wrong or the people had changed to something more suits casual.
Anyway, we went in and started to greet cordially as seen unknown, and he knew. I sat a long time without doing anything until perhaps an uncle of mine have noticed my obvious boredom and started asking me for college, what career to studying, what stage was that the girls how about that how about the weather, just missing it, "and when ran out the typical questions of someone who really does not know about you but makes you please make me a little less boring evening came my other uncle, the homeowner and military and to vary, with a jug of beer hand in front of everyone and said,
"Well, I would first like to congratulate my son on this achievement so great that we are giving, and as is tradition, we will continue soaking the gallon. I see many do not know what I mean, there are many others who are accustomed. For purposes of our customs, soak a gallon means taking all the whole jar of beer where the gals who just received my son. You have to take all the beer to have the gals in the mouth and that is a symbol of good fortune. This makes each time you move. "
And the proud father of his son gallon soak up and everything was burning. I wanted to have a copy of the tape to hang it on a medium to propagate such nonsense. I remember many saying "of course, has been practicing," he soaks gallons every day, "the Like father like son "and ½ barbarity. Take non-stop and seems to be having an entire technique developed because while my cousin took his dad told him to breathe, to not rush, take at a steady pace, even then, what stupid-and that it was ending . When there was little or nothing said, "and son, take everything and gals slip" to what a couple of seconds the child was completed and brought all the gals wet your mouth. He also proudly showed the gals at all while I took pictures, recorded and applauded.
I wonder if anything in the beer and instructed in others and to be prepared for such a rigorous examination of soaking gallons. No way! If it seemed that train and every week. So there are both military drunk, insensitive, harsh and inhumane, to wander worrying about trivialities as stupid as proof of soaking of gallons.
I had intended, in any case, instead of soaking the smoke gallon. That arming a king size pure weed and the smoke non-stop and single, rhythm and other applied to soaking gallons. So I guess, at least, all the soldiers would enter into a dispute unique to ascend and have longed tronchazo against all expectant watching you and cheering you finish everything and recording. I guess it would have more military happy, sincere, sensitive and human.
