My mother
calls me every morning from Italy and since she’s 82 y/o and full of rheumatic
pain- therefore watching TV all day long – all I hear from her is her
complaining about her pain “that makes it difficult for her to walk” (no comments from her
son – me – who has been sitting on a wheelchair for only 10 years…..).
Anyway
after she’s told me about everything that happens not only in Verona, but here
in Santa Barbara around the corner from where I’m living, she tells me in a
somewhat of a complaining tone that Verona and plenty other towns not far from
it is filling up with people coming from China and to this she immediately adds
a couple of jokes that seem tom be popular in Italy in these days.
The other
day the son of my former employer of the ski company in NH sent me a message
through Facebook telling me that he’s now in China where his family decided to
start sourcing ski-boots production, I told him that he’s teaching technology
that it took centuries for the Italians tom develop and that – like all the
other companies that do the same – his company is going to soon regret having
made such decision, only to save little money.
Let’s
forget about the fact that it’s been his father who with the huge powers of his
mind got me into my debilitating accident, which explains well the reason why I
met with Jesus, but this is something I wrote here about in the past, therefore
let’s focus on these jokes.
Now, let me
premise that I’m not a racist at all and I have few friends who are married tom
women from China, a special one who, because of his job traveled to China for
years and made several girlfriends (as he refers to them) in that country, therefore what I’m going to say here are just jokes
now very popular in Italy:
·
In
the space used to sleep by an Italian you can fit 8 Chinese people
·
Every
time one of them - with the Italian ID (residency) - dies all the others eat the dead one to “recycle” the ID
That’s when
she starts telling me of the people who are terrorists and even the Pope has to
prepare special protections to ensure that when on Sundays he talks to the
people in Vatican square, people there to receive the “Urbis et orbi” blessing
won’t be exploding because of bombs exploded by these terrorists.
