UNFAITHFUL ARMY HUSBAND
IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE I WAS STATIONED IN THE ARMY,
THERE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE WHO TOLD ME HE HAD A
FRIEND WHO WAS A LITTLE UNFAITHFUL TO HIS WIFE WHILE
HE WAS ON SEA DUTY. WELL, SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS LITTLE
ADVENTURES, AND WHEN HE CAME HOME FROM LEAVE, THEY WENT
TO BED AND HE FELL ASLEEP BEFORE SHE DID. SHE THEN CUT
HIS SEX ORGAN OFF WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS AND HE DIED.

ITALIAN GESTURE
WHEN AN ITALIAN FORMS A FIST AND THEN RAISES HIS
SECOND AND FIFTH FINGERS--IT LITERALLY MEANS "YOUR
MOTHER SLEEPS WITH ANOTHER MAN." IT IS THE
HIGHEST FORM OF INSULT AN ITALIAN CAN GIVE.
