Bell’ Italia - not quite like the rest of Europe

Posted by Tina

“Italy seems to me like a very well organized country,” said the man at the milonga in the middle of our tanda.

“Italy? Huh? Organized? What makes you say that ??” I asked him.

“Well because it’s in Europe.” was his response.

I laughed and said, “not exactly the same…”, before embracing him for the next song.

Maybe he needs to take a look at this:

Lol…and I’m Italian, I should cry .
You know Marco Paolini, the Italian actor and writer that does all those shows in theaters about Ustica, the Vajont and other stuff? well, in the show about Ustica he defined Italian queues: ‘avete mai visto italiani in fila? si chiama grumo fluido, la figura solida che abbiamo inventato per sostituire la fila: ergonomica, comoda. I giapponesi vengono a studiarla e ci chiedono ‘Come fate?’. ci viene così’.
