Person A: Did you see that multi-car pile-up on the news? There were like 40 dead! Person B: No way, Posta??! Person A: Posta! Why would I lie about this! Husband: Posta honey, I went to see my mom because she had a heart attack, but she is better now. Wife: Are you telling me la posta? Because if not, this ends right here. Husband: Come on babe, you think I would get home at 7am just for partying with my friends?
