oh, be carefull... he is either mentally ill (from an italian point of view) or he's after your tush :biggrin:

whenever my various female friends (and two ex-girlfriends) have come home from a trip to italy they have complained for months about the italian men, it's so funny...
as far as i understand, this is what happens when a blond girl walkes into a bar or street or off the airport runway:
"oh, lala! pretty girl! you want a real man, no?"
and they actually leave a trail of mucus behind as they slither after her until she slams a door in their face :biggrin:
ROFLMAO! :biggrin:

Evo <-----wiping the tears from her eyes. That is so FUNNY, and so TRUE! :-p Yes, he is mentally ill, by Italian standards. He thinks Italian men are disgusting. Well, that's what he tells me. Perhaps he is just fiendishly clever??
