Man Realizes He Has Been Calling Los Angeles, Las Angeles

In a bizzare twist of fate, lifelong LA resident Willys Hermosa, 37-year old TV/VCR repairman, and proprietor of Willys' TV/VCR Repair, realized that his entire life has been wasted referring to Los Angeles as Las Angeles. "My world is upside down right now, my wife left me, my kids don't respect me, my business is slow--it all makes sense now" When asked how a native Spanish speaker such as himself could make such a crucial mistake in confusing gender, Mr. Hermosa retorted "Look, who really thinks of an angel as a masculine thing, I mean, they wear sandals and wings and look like babies, what man does that?" When informed that, gross sexism aside, he was describing cherubs and not angels, Mr. Hermosa doubled down "Look, same difference, my cousin was an extra on "Touched by an Angel" and he said he said the same thing" Touched by an Angel was a hit CBS television show that had an impressive 9 season run. "He was on that one episode where the little girl got like ran over by a car or something, then she got touched by an angel and lived....or I think she died of like radiation sickness or something---point is, she didn't die of the original cause because an angel touched her. My cousin was on the jury at the 12 minute and 38 second mark. He has this really dramatic look on his face, impressed everyone on the set with his ability to look preoccupied. His career really took off, it was like a breakthrough role for him" When asked what work his cousin has had since then, we were informed that Mr. Hermosa's cousin got work as a dead body on "NCIS....or was it NCSI, or CSI....Idk one of those shows with the really pale girl and dude who used to be a rapper or something" and he also played a witness on Law & Order SVU and as an audience member on the Maury Povich show. "Yeah, he was the only one in the audience who could guess correctly that the drag queen was actually a woman" Realizing we were getting sidetracked, we went back to asking if he was going to change his life around now that he realizes it's Los Angeles and not Las Angeles. Mr. Hermosa simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "My wife left me"
