Haha! No, I can't speak Italian, but read a little. I Learnt Spanish in school, which seems to be a bit similar. (Bash me if you disagree - you spanish speakers around here)

This reminds me of when I used to work in a S****y callcenter were they'd put you at the phone with some printed scripts to speak English, Italian, and Portuguese. The only language I knew besides Spanish was English. Portuguese wasn't that difficult, it's really similar and we had the scripts and with that you'd pretty much manage. But I was clueless with italian, so anytime I had to answer an italian call I'd just speak spanish with an italian accent and read some stuff from the script, but I was like "Mamma mia!" all the time and people somehow quite understood what I was trying to say .___.
I don't think I make use of all this time. Oh kill me kiss me once, and then we'll throw it away.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam while out shopping.
Simply dropping into Sainsbury's for a bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic.
Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.
Here's how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot.
They both start cleaning your windscreen. Their large firm young breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts.
It's impossible not to look, especially with all the rain we have been having.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another store, in my case, Tesco You agree and they both get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked.
Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!
I had my wallet stolen February 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th. Also March 1st, 4th, twice yesterday and very likely again this coming weekend.
P.S. Aldi have wallets on sale for £1.99 each but Lidl are £1.75 and look better
.......
Teacher: Now then class, let's do some simple sums. I give you £10 and you take a £1. What do I have?
Little Johnny: A bank account in Cyprus, Miss.

I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to exchange, so I went to the currency exchange window at the local bank.
Short line. Just one lady in front of me . . an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and she was a little irritated . . .
She asked the teller, "Why it change?? Yesterday , I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty?? Why it change?"
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations."
The Asian lady says, "Fluc you white people, too."

The Mis-informed Wife
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend.... I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And that's when the fight started...
.......
Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?"
Margaret looked him over. "Nope."
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything different NOW?"
Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan, "Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow."
Furious, Bert yelled, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?"
"Nope. Not a clue", she replied.
"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!"
Without missing a beat Margaret replied, "Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat."
