An  old Italian man is dying. He calls his grandson  to his bedside, Guido, I wan’ you lissina me.     “I wan’ you to take-a my chrome plated .38 revolver  so you will always remember me.”

“But  grandpa, I really don’t like guns. How about you  leave me your Rolex watch instead?”

“You  lissina me, boy.  Somma day you gonna be runna da business, you gonna have a beautiful wife, lotsa money, a big-a home and maybe a couple of  bambinos.  Somma day you gonna come-a home and maybe finda you wife inna bed with another man.   Whatta you gonna do then ? Pointa to your watch and say,  “times up” ?
