Maybe you had to be there, but the following was hilarious to us.
We went to Italy with our best friends and our three teenaged girls. We were at a restaurant in Florence that I highly recommend, Trattoria Giorgio. The menu is family-style Italian. The primo course consisted of spaghetti Bolognese, tortellini, macaroni with funghi, macaroni piccante/spicy, and fettuccine pomodori. The secondo was veal with funghi, sausage, chicken cacciatore, accompanied by a choice of spinach or a wonderful green salad containing white and green beans. All of that food was 16,000 lira - about 9 dollars per person! The wine was incredibly good, especially at well under $10 a bottle, and we drank our share. At the end of the meal, our friend said he needed to go to the bathroom. Well, picture seeing the most conservative, proper person that you know (unlike wild-and-crazy me) walking to a corner in the restaurant by a plant, turning his back to the room, and unzipping this pants! The wait staff and we gasped because we thought he was about to relieve himself. It turns out that what he was doing was getting some cash out of his hidden money belt (pickpocketing is SO bad in Italy). We laughed until we cried - I almost wet my pants.
