Bastard Operator From Hell, in case you didn't guess right. This list
does originate from Panama, not a city in Florida... the country. 

So, depending on the local inventory of cuban cigars, Grande Burro de
Mamacitas clear Rum, ice in the ice-bucket, tall glasses and taller
straws, not to mention the little foo-foo drink umbrellas, coconut and
pineapple pieces, the mail might make it out the door... or not. This
entire crate depends on the local Bastante Operiedore de Hades
particular mood and / or blood alcohol level. Humidity, heat and heat
rashes in the bad places may also be a key. Anyone wanting to apply for
a job there get behind me in the line.
