Joe you're Spanish is terrible, but if they don't speak English at all... your attempts at Spanish will pass.  Trust me, it's like people speaking broken English, you'll still understand them.  Don't stress yourself over the conjugations and grammar too much when speaking... they won't mind too much (since you're attempting to speak).
Exactly. If someone said "Where am you?" you know what they are asking
You am mean me no good engrish? Me thank "Where am you?" corekt. no?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Whenever I go somewhere to order a good burrito, I always order in Spanish. Most of the time, the people just roll with it. Sometimes they laugh. They're never offended though, at least they don't show it.

Don't speak in Spanish, we're in America and you're not even close to Mexico. You just look/sound dumb.

Those were my exact thoughts. :)
WHO GIVES  A FUCK HOW CLOSE YOU ARE TO MEXICO?
;)
I recommend you speak English to them no matter what, even if you are in a place like... San Diego

Dude, he lives in Wisconsin. He's better off speaking French.

I'm pretty fuckin' far from the Mexican border, but at some places in my city you'd swear you were in Tijuana.  Although, this is the same area that you can travel less then 10 miles and feel like you just shot over to Saigon. :p
