If you\u2019re Italian, you\u2019re better than everybody else. You can be the biggest, dumbest fuck on two feet, but if you\u2019re Italian, you\u2019re it. I have enough spaghetti and wine in my veins to be Italian. The goddamn hot peppers, I can eat a mason jar full.

After a while, I couldn\u2019t deal with the thickheaded Italians at the racetrack, so I got out. But not before I was broke. I love wieners and Coke. <em>Love<\/em> that combo.
