Just received the following anecdote from one of our Very Far-flung correspondent -
Why Italian Godfathers pass their handguns down through the family?
Here's how the story goes -
An old Italian Mafia Don is dying. He calls his grandson to his bedside.
"Elio, I wanna you lissina me. I wanna you to take-a my chrome plated .38 revolver so you will always remember me."
"But grandpa, I really don't like guns. How about you leave me your Rolex watch instead?"
"You lissina me, boy. Somma day you gonna be runna DA business, you gonna have a
beautiful wife, lotsa money, a big-a home and maybe a couple of bambinos"
"Somma day you gonna come-a home and maybe finda you wife inna bed with another man.
"Whatta you gonna do then? Pointa to you watch and say, 'Time's Up'?"
