And when the Frenchman lost a hand he developed a speech defect.

I'm so pleased when I see a serious subject dealt with in humor while making its point. You do this so well.

I'd have just smacked him and let the emotions flow and I'm not even Italian. I was married to one once though. Woof. Patrick

yeah... my upper lip is permanently frozen... must be all that snogging we Brits get up to! :)) But maybe that's just my European roots melting the Nordic snows... Perspicacious couplets surgically penned, Eileen; our global diversity is both blessing and bane when it comes to making ourselves understood. Very neat work. xx

An economy of expression,
rich and mysterious,
characterized by the omission
of superfluous elements;
cutting to the chase like
an arrow through the heart!

Ah! You've put a smile on my face with this, Eileen. I'm an American...of Irish/Italian decent. For the last nine years, I've lived abroad...3 and a half years in England...almost six in Italy...now you know the reason for the smile!

An underlying message in there, I think, but a great write that tickles the passion in us Irishmen.

A stiff upper lip causes heart attacks I heard, while murder with emotion stirred, it is interesting to watch all the different responses in the United Nations, though they are a bit veiled, them being diplomats and all, and really not real people.

Hahaha!! You got that right. I am not Italian, but I was married to one from New York City, (Nannette) and while she was one of the meekest, mildest persons I have ever met, if she decided something was not right there was hell to pay and she was not meek, nor was she mild about it.
