Pickleball gear, silly.

On FB today someone childishly insulted my favorite Italian restaurant. In my pique I looked for how to say asshole in Italian. Lo and behold, I found a cornucopia of Italian swear phrases!

When I left the U, one of the CRNAs gave me a book on how to swear in almost any language. I found it useful when I started working with more surgeons who were trained overseas.
