True, the Italians were pathetically clumsy in WWII. It's interesting to
note that despite this performance there are few in America who make
"Italian jokes" the way we poke fun at the French.

Which part of "America?" Iowa? Iowa City? Where?

Those of us from New York (that's that big city on the East Coast
that's still part of America) have heard jokes made about and told on
every race, creed, color, and shape of mankind.

It's how you knew you'd arrived.
