La sal de la tierra


The guys who came to clean windows in the office, not the outside windows, but the windows that separate us from our superiors, they have interesting conversation.  They were talking about how strange it would be to see the people they work with in a suit.  Apparently, they think the only places you should wear a suit are funerals.  One of them said, “Like, what if Hector fell off the roof tomorrow and we all had to go to his funeral.  Do you think Dave would wear a suit?  I just can’t picture it.”
The other one chimed in, “No, but Hector wouldn’t have a funeral.”
“That’s true.  He doesn’t exist.  What do they do with illegal Mexicans?”
“I don’t know, man.”
“They prolly just throw ‘em in the river.”
This is a quiet office.
