 (The line spacing and return function as well as the length of a post are very limited from here and yes, Rome was all that and a bag of chips and yes, the US is in many ways more effed up than Italy.)

Advice To The Forlorn

If possible, be Italian. And have the good sense to live somewhere else.  Smuggle precious metals. Take scant comfort in that the scientific names of many plants and animals have Latin roots.

 Be a partisan or shooting star or meteor, not a planet. But if you work for the state, sit at your desk on Uranus and pointlessly shuffle papers. Otherwise work off the books and avoid taxes. Serve the Mafia and dishonor the honest working stiff. Frighten interviewers from Time.  A horse's head in bed will turn their heads toward eternity and make Clare Boothe loose in the bowels. Don't say, "Only connect," say, "I'm connected."

 Delight in perversity. Get thee to pinch a nun in a nunnery. Don't be outdone by the Muslims. Fantasize a Lolita at every soda fountain. Try not to think of Jacques Chirac.

 Miniver Chimoio, civil servant, doing "the people's business," slept at his desk, dreaming of John Edwards chasing ambulances and of John Edward aka Jacob Cohen of Tesco saying, "You can't do business sitting on your arse," yawned, and kept on sleeping.

Miniver Cheevy got off his arse and drove his Chevy to the levy in order to levy a tax on a Mr. Levy and though the county was "dry," kept on drinking.

- Edwin Arlington, The Cemetary
