    :d To all my Italian friends and family, and a few who are not - enjoy! ..and if you're from Brooklyn, New Joisey, or Long Eyeland, you'll really appreciate this!

    E y e - T a l i a n

    Why do Italians no like Jehovah's Witnesses?
    Because Italians do not like ANY witnesses.

    Do you know why most men from Italy are named Tony?
    On the boat over to America they put a sticker on them that said (To New York )TO NY :hater:


    You know you're Italian when . . . .
    You can bench press 325 pounds, Shave twice a day and still cry when your mother yells at you.

    You carry your lunch in a produce bag because you can't fit two cappicola sandwiches, 4 oranges, 2 bananas and pizzelles into a regular lunch bag.

    Your mechanic, plumber, electrician, accountant, travel agent and lawyer are all your cousins.

    You have at least 5 cousins living in the same town or on the same block.
    All five of those cousins are named after your grandfather or grandmother.

    You are on a first name basis with at least 8 banquet hall owners

    You only get one good shave from a disposable razor.

    If someone in your family grows beyond 5' 9", it is presumed his Mother had an affair.

    There were more than 28 people in your bridal party.


    And you REALLY, REALLY know you're Italian when . .. . .

    Your grandfather had a fig tree.

    You eat Sunday dinner at 2:00.

    Christmas Eve . . . only fish.

    Your mom's meatballs are the best.

    You've been hit with a wooden spoon or had a shoe thrown at you.

    Clear plastic covers on all the furniture.

    You know how to pronounce "manicotti" and "mozzarella."

    You fight over whether it's called "sauce" or "gravy."

    You've called someone a "mamaluke."

    And you understand "bada bing".

    :d

    You know you're Italian when every year for the Ressurection Play you're chosen to be the centurian because "you're perfect for this part!"
