Telemarketers somewhat frequently call us and talk to us in Spanish. For my wife, who's last name is "Riba". Her Spanish consists of high-school language classes, and she actually got her last name from Poland.
Of course, her brother somehow ended up olive-complexioned and dark-haired. He worked as an undercover vice cop in the Tampa Bay area, where a lot of the gangs are Hispanic, so it actually helped . . .
