¡Hola! ¡Buenas dias!

When Pope John Paul II made a visit to Miami in 1987, delighting Miami's large Hispanic community, an enterprising Euroamerican shirt-maker decided to capitalize on the event. He made thousands of shirts which in Spanish were suppose to read "I saw the Pope." Unfortunately, he didn't bother to check his quip with those who knew the language. Rather than using the masculine definitive article "el," the shirt-maker used the feminine definitive article "la." Hence the shirts instead read, "I saw the potato."
