Some of Puzo's constructions were pretty funny, though no doubt unintentionally so. As La Signora alluded, most of them concerned Sonny's, ah, member. Puzo describes the young Sonny as being generous: "His heart was as big as his organ," which I found pretty amusing--I heard of a man thinking with his dick, but giving with it, well, that's a new one. In another part, Puzo writes that Sonny was so hung that "even the most hardened putain, [his spelling] after an awed inspection of his massive organ, would demand twice the price." No wonder Lucy needed that operation.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
