Genaro is in this country for only 6 months. He walks to work 20 blocks
every day and passes a shoe store.
Each day he stops and looks in the window to admire the Boccelli leather
shoes. He wants those shoes so much it's all he can think about.
After about 2 months he saves the price of the shoes, $300, and purchases
them.
Every Friday night the Italian community holds a dance in the church
basement.
Genaro seizes this opportunity to wear his new Boccelli leather shoes for
the first time.
He asks Sophia to dance and as they dance he asks her, Sophia, do you wear
red panties tonight?"
Startled, Sophia replies, "Yes, Genaro, I do wear red panties tonight, but
how do you know?"
Genaro answers, "I see the reflection in my new $300 Boccelli leather
shoes.
How do you like them?"
Next he asks Rosa to dance, and after a few
minutes he asks, "Rosa, do you wear white panties tonight?"
Rosa answers, "Yes, Genaro, I do, but how do you know that?"
He replies, "I see the reflection in my new $300 Boccelli leather shoes. How
do you like them?"
Now as the evening is almost over and the last song is being played, Genaro
asks Carmela to dance. Midway through the dance his face turns red.
He states, "Carmela, be stilla my heart, please, please tell me you wear no
panties tonight, please, please, tella me this true!"
Carmela smiles coyly and answers, "Yes Genaro, I wear no panties tonight."
Genaro gasps, "Thanka God ..." I thought I had a CRACK in my $300 Boccelli
leather shoes!"*
