HI ralph, go to the phrasebook, and see what you can get, there are lots of sentences ----and how about false cognates, more? Don't take Ray's suggestion, makes no sense in Spanish.

In OZ we say "are you having a lend of me" which means are you trying to make

a fool of me . so try "¿ Etstá teniendo un prestan de mi ? it may give him pause.

I would suggest trying an idiom on him and hope that he takes the meaning literally rather than what it actually means. Search the Phrasebook for an appropriate idiom.

Silly example, but something like voy a tomar el pelo and see if he thinks that you are going to grab his hair... rather than pulling his leg by kidding him about something.
