    Smiley You know you are Italian when....

    1. Why do Italians hate Jehovah's Witnesses?
    Italians hate all witnesses.

    2. Do you know why most men from Italy are named Tony?
    On the boat over to America, they put a sticker on them that said "TO NY".

    3. You know you're Italian when ...... You can bench press 325 pounds, shave twice a day, and still cry when your mother yells at you.

    4. You carry your lunch in a produce bag because you can't fit two cappicola sandwiches, four oranges, two bananas, and pizzelles in a regular lunch bag.

    5. Your mechanic, plumber, electrician, accountant, travel agent, and lawyer are all your cousins.

    6. You have at least five cousins living in the same town or street. All five of those cousins are named after your grandfather or grandmother.

    7. You are on a first-name basis with at least eight banquet hall owners.

    8. You only get one good shave from a disposable razor.

    9. If someone in your family grows beyond 5' 9", it is presumed his Mother had an affair.

    10. There are more than 28 people in your bridal party.

    11. You netted more than $50,000 on your first communion.

    12. And you really, REALLY know you're Italian when...... Your grandfather had a fig tree. You eat Sunday dinner at 2:00pm Christmas Eve....only fish. Your mom's meatballs are the best. You've been hit with a wooden spoon or had a shoe thrown at you. Plastic on the furniture is normal. You know how to pronounce "manicotti" and "mozzarella." You fight over whether it's called "sauce" or "gravy." You've called someone a "mamaluke." ....And you understand "bada bing"....

    You fight over whether it's called "sauce" or "gravy."

    This is my mom's side... every holiday it's the same arguement. I say it's sauce.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    LOL Same here, Rose.

    And, dammit people, it IS "Gravy". I correct people all the time (alright, I don't correct them, I demand that they call it that instead.) Heh

    Italian or not, ppl should know what's gravy & what's sauce. LOL I don't see how they can confuse the two.

    Okay this is my view on the gravy/sauce situation. The older italians in my family call it gravy while the younger members call it sauce.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.
