Doesn't count if you're 1/2 Italian... you're all American and that's what kills.
Like that commercial that is airing in the US, selling PuertoRican Rum... or some such... "Just imagine if we took life as seriously as you do..." American's take life seriously, live with stress and more stress as a standard, unlike most other countries that allow a better balance (though unfortunately the rest of the world is starting to catch on to the American "ideals"). Hence, the higher heart attack rate and at younger ages. The key, learn to relax and unwind as much as possible, take things less seriously, and live longer -- so you can pass along that stress to your kids.
Thanks for sharing. I love the jokes! Especially the "Pasta" one. Now if I could just implement that instead of the "stoppa" diet... where I stoppa in here and there for a nibble.
