It’s Charles Garcia, actually, citing “a number of Spanish scholars, such as Jose Erugo, Celso Garcia de la Riega, Otero Sanchez and Nicholas Dias Perez” as well as Cecil Roth, Estelle Irizarry, Simon Weisenthal, blah blah (h/t Charles).
However, two Scottish Hispanists staggering home from the pub discover a man lying in the gutter. “It’s Columbus!” cries one, whereupon the other leaps on the prone figure and begins shagging him up his hole. “Get off, man,” protests the first, “he’s dead!” “I thought you said he was English,” replies his companion.
Then there’s a theory put around by evil scum that says he must be related to George Bush: travelled half way round the world to the wrong country, caused the death of half the population, all on someone else’s money.
