Have you ever gone an entire day without sunshine? Here in the Bay Area, that's what we're experiencing. The entire sun has been blocked out by the numerous fires burning, from Washington's & Oregon's Wildfires, and from Bay Area fires burning for over a week now. Wildfires, Power outages and COVID19, this sure ain't the California the Beach Boys used to sing about. What can a normal person do the deal with such stressful times?
"El Toro" means "small dick"? Sounds like a cock and bull story to me (or vice versa). The 'toon is quite funny, but your Spanish is as bad as my French! Who cares, though, as long as it gets a BIG laugh. Size does matter in these matters.
Despite the questionable Spanish, the 'toon IS educational as well as entertaining. Intentionally or not, it illustrates how the phrase "see red" originated. According to the "Phrase Finder" web site, "it is widely thought that 'see red' derives from the sport of bull-fighting and the toreador's use of a red cape to deceive the bull." Congratulations -- your deceptive bull is a major contribution to higher learning. You deserve an honorary B.S.
