Clayton Causey

Este cambia un poco la direccion del refran, o admite dos direcciones. Pienso que le da permiso al pobre de robar para salir adelante, mientras que no deja de tener el mismo sentido que describe Sr. Payan.
Espero que sea de ayuda.
Suerte.

En conclusion, la culpa es suya y no de comcel. Quien lo manda a no legalizarlo? y eso teniendo buena fe......porque a comcel (y a nosotros de paso) quien le asegura q ud no se lo robo?
Como siempre, todo lo del pobre es robado... ahora la culpa es mia por no activarlo en Colombia!!!ja!!!
