Some things said & experienced in my dobedobedobe do dubious past:

You’ve come a long way from where you came from, “WOP!” My commanding officer in South Korea!

“You should not expect to ever go to college! A Barbera barber you’d surely be!” Quoth my high school counselor, evermore!

Yes!

I have encountered far to many boring idiots, baffoons, blockheads, and nincompoops! One even, sometimes, when I brush my teeth in front of my bathroom mirror!

I’m now living in ‘Nasty Valley’ surrounded by arrogant and rude people from NYC and the Northeast! Just sending far to many emails and now blog posts mainly to myself!

You never told me that … Oh mio padre!

I was once threatened by a giant, green, Cuban lizard, no less! Thank God he was’t a Northeasterner!

You know, we never thought of your father as being Italian!”

Well, Uncle Ken; I never thought of you as being an Asshole! But I sure do now!
