21.9.08

la destra

A dinner table in northern Italy. Three Americans, a Brasilian, a Turk and an Italian. Everyone strives to communicate in Italian, the Italian seems annoyed with the pace of the others' sentences. An American attempts to tell a joke about Berlusconi, due to the complexity of the sentence, pauses at first, thinks a bit, then says "Do you like Berlusconi?" to the Italian. Unexpectedly, he answers "yes." All the liberal arts college students stop moving in shock. They are so very used to liberal points of view and understanding responses. The joke is never told, and the conversation ends when the Italian says " I don't allow any talk of communists or juventus in my house." It's 2008.
