Somehow, we cannot trace our steps, we made up a story that Julio Lugo has set up a tango school in the Dominican Republic, called The Julio Lugo Tango Academy. But you can just call it “JLTA”. I have no idea how this joke came up but at some point we all were just crying<\/i> with laughter about it. Saying to Julio, hesitantly, “You know, Julio, it’s really great that you’re so committed to tango … it’s really awesome<\/i> to have outside interests … but … uhm … don’t you think you should concentrate on your game??”<\/p>\n
But no. He cannot stop tango-ing. Tango is his life.<\/p>\n
“I must pass on my love of tango to the younger generation.”
\n“Yeah, but, Julio … you’ve been making a lot of errors … maybe you should put the tango on the back burner for a bit?”
\n“Tango is my life.”
\n“Uhmmmm, okay, Julio, whatever you say.”<\/p>\n
We love our stupid jokes. We get so much mileage out of them.<\/p>\n
