Italians drink a lot of coffee ***

Italians have elegant clothes ***

Italians spend a lot of time eating *****

Italains are noisy ***

Italians love soccer ****

Italians are dark eyed and black haired *

Italians can cook well ****

Italian women have big tits *

Italian men do it better

Italians are mafiosi

Some, maybe.

If you got the time for it, why not?

Quote:

They certainly are, especially before, during and after eating.

Quote:
Italians love soccer ****
All Europeans do. There is only one country where they are stupid enough to love sports like baseball and American football over real football, aka soccer.

Quote:

True.

Quote:

Some.

Maybe. Apollonia was only 17, so she can't be counted.

it used to be so. Nowadays, if you dare be (and most of all show as being) jealous you will be stigmatized as jurassic. :rolleyes: Btw, I'm jurassic.

You need an update. We got only six governments in the last decade or so.

What I meant to say, is that I'm better than Italian men. How I know that? Just my instinct.

Yeah, maybe it's better to trust Madonna.

I'm sure that she has more s-experience with Italian men than me

Of course we also need our hands to talk. If our hands were tied down and it wouldn't be quite the same.

Oh, I talk with my hands!

I'm always jabbing my finger at people's faces and making crazy hand gestures, though I don't usually notice until my friends point it out...

what's wrong with garlic? It is a powerful antiseptic and reduces the risk of heart diseases and cancer, lowers blood pressure, reduces total cholesterol and raises HDL (the desirable component of cholesterol), helps fight bacterial, viral and fungal infections, and reduces the tendency of blood to form clots. It is also said to have aphrodisiac and hair restorer properties! And, of course, it is an absolute must for your pasta sauce! As for the odour it leaves in your mouth and breath, well....as long as your partner eats the same food you are having......no problem!!!

I don't know how to take this. I mean, did he eat garlic on purpose because he knew he had to kiss Sofia and he just wanted to make a fool out of her or to discourage her? Anyway, if I'm going to NYC I'll bring a garlic supply in my bag. Just in case I am to meet Al and get the chance to kiss him....

I suppose it's one of those nice behind-the-screen jokes that exist between actors.
