On Joey's grandfather's draft card it says that he came from "Portenzo," which might be Potenza.
Probably Potenza. Those Irish clerks at Ellis Island couldn't even spell when they were sober
.
I thought it was illiteracy that led to stuff like that? All the Italians and Irish and Eastern Europeans couldn't spell their own names let alone where they came from!
I knew you'd take the bait. I swear on my kids I was hoping that you would.
Italian stereotypes are propagated all day long on this website, and no one seems to care. But the moment an Irish stereotype comes up, or God forbid the IRA (who probably killed more people than the American and Italian Mafias combined), your radar went up faster than a boner on a teenage boy at co-ed summer camp.
I like you, Moe. But do you see what I did there?
