LOL - that's one of the funniest things I've ever heard! I can just picture him walking around like the capo di tutti capi - I'm surprised anyone approached him at all!
Thanks for sharing, Carol!

I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol
