If you ever want to understand where I come from and my sense of humor, welcome to my people!

This is hysterically funny and deadly serious.

@Laura14,

Me too! My dad was surprisingly patient, but when he got mad - watch out!

I can't imagine how frustrating it is for them to get their message across for the upteenth time.

@Laura14Wonderful - and sad.

Along that same line, a Palm Beach Post writer yesterday used his column (almost always political and almost always satire) to beg for Italian mayor-type administrators for our area. I didn't note the date of the post- winder if he saw that before he wrote his piece?

BTW- he is first-generation Italian himself

I saw this early this morning while I was having my coffee and immediately fell in love with each of these men.

My grandparents came from Scicily as teens -- their marrige was somewhat "arranged." They lived in Brooklyn, and we would visit every summer.

Hearing them speak to each other is one of my favorite memories. Even when they were angry and yelling, it was like music.

Such a beautiful language....such sadness for a wonderful people and country.

Oh, I understand completely! My mother's family came from Abruzzo.

Thank you for posting this.

I live in Italy part of the year and my heart breaks for these wonderful people. But, speaking of Mayors, the Mayor of Rimini who is 101 was discharged from the hospital after treatment for Covid19. Amongst such tragedy comes a little ray of hope.

@millieshops 😂 Italians don't play!

I love the 'stories'. I don't know which was funnier. I can relate to the story of jogger with the visibly exhausted dog. I need to walk every day so I can understand the jogging.

@Cookie2025 I don't think it was included in these clips but one mayor wanted to know why everyone had become an Olympian all of the sudden. "I know you. You haven't had a run since primary school." 😂
