 @e68d8ac4 I have visited Sicily way back in the day, and I totally believe you. Italian mamas don't play! And you throw in the rest of it, I can see it being a day wrecker if you crossed her!

 @0349076e once that lip is bit it is all over. And all but 1% of the Jews in Sicily were genocided when the pope put a moratorium on them. Our people survived living on the side of Mount Rosa, where the Derosa's are from. They survived, by pouring boiling oil down the side of the Hill on any of the raiders that tried to siege them. And as soon as their sailors could get off the island, they came to the New World, you got pockets of Sicilians, in places like Tabor City, North Carolina.
