Italian for Assholes
Posted by Moose on April 25th, 2007. Filed under: Travel.Not Immediately Problematic: Renaming (in ink) the chapter in your Italian book entitled “Personal Relations.”
Asshole: With any luck, when you resell the book back to Green Apple, they won’t notice the section now called “How to Pick up a Hooker.”
N.I.P.: After repeated tries, you still can’t pronounce “San Gimignano”.
A: Feel almost no compunction about cheerfully offending citizens of multiple countries when you inevitably call this lovely Tuscan town “San Chimichanga”.
N.I.P.: Parrot “alesaggio” when prompted by the Italian recording.
A: Feel fully prepared to walk into the Sistine Chapel and shout “BORING!” in the native language.

omg – have you seen Trigger Happy TV? It’s a ‘candid camera’ type show where the guy roams the streets doing random stuff and the cameras get folks reactions… he stands in front of the Great Wall of China in one episode and waits for someone to stand next to him and while gesturing to the wall says… Complete Rubbish! and walks away….!!!! Make sure someone gets you on film shouting BORING! in the Sistine…

I’d buy an Italian book with a chapter renamed to “How to Pick up a Hooker”
And you shouting “BORING!” in the Sistine Chapel makes me giggle like an evil school girl.
