Pnut has been thoroughly enjoying his xpat experience so far. Last night at dinner, he comes out with these little gems:
P: So I was thinking how funny things can be when you translate them from Italian to English. Like in Italian when we say “va cagare” [fuck off], you could say “vaca gare” which in English would mean cow races.
T: (blink, blink)
P: Oh, and do you know why all the Italians in New York are named Tony?
T: (blink, blink) Uh, … no?
P: Because it’s spelled TO - NY. Get it? To… NY? ha ha ha ha ha
T: I think I’m gonna need another glass of wine.
