ian," comes back in this style:
You have to know, Mr.. Milo,
that no Italian eats garlic, but
they use II only to make fine
gravy. They eat more and better
in one day than Americans eat in
one month. In fact, you never
see Italians enter a lunch room or
store and make their supper on a
&c piece OF pie and a nice cup of
water. Italian people spend as
much money to feed their cats as
some Americans do to feed them
selves. Do you belong to the pie
