Italians Becoming Just Like Us


This is what happens when you turn your government over to a gaudy prima donna whose contempt for civility is only surpassed by his own self-interest—the whole goddamn system falls apart.

When I see an Italian walking around in a Giants jersey, deliriously stuffing his gob with Thin Mints, then I'll believe it.

I've been to a restaurant outside Modena where the owner makes a point of detaching his steaming wand at 10 a.m. precisely, so that his customers will not even be tempted to ask. He also pats you down for your cellphone, and locks the offending object in a wooden box for the duration of the meal. He would just as soon gun you down in the street as serve you an evening cappuccino. I approve.

@sorry your heinous You don't drink coffee with milk at any time after breakfast, and especially not after meals. It's bad for the digestion.

@CheeseLouise Interesting. Thanks for the explanation!

Heh. And here it wouldn't occur to me to have espresso before 6.
