1. If you live in Mexico its probably worth investing in Spanish lessons...

2. Showing up on horse back, waving guns and shouting arent likely to convince people not to go up an infested temple, neither are sideburns.

3. Salt says dont grow, a fence says dont go.

4. When beseiging an infested temple, leave the kids at home, or out of throwing distance.

5. If you are going to hide a "hidden" path to the temple, use more than a few leaves.

6. If you are going to have two young girls act as lookout, have them wave and shout a warning, instead of just standing there acting creepy. Better still, get them to run a lemonade stand.

7. Invest in some RoundUp and a good weed whacker.

Learnt is a word. It's more commonly used in European countries.

They weren't speaking Spanish. They were speaking a form of Mayan. It's different.

However, the above were clever and funny. Kudos!
