The Italian Restaurant Interspecies Relations Board turned out to be an elaborate practical joke played on the snooty prep fraternity by Angelo D’Agosto-Phartuccio and his slobby, underdog friends in their fraternity.
Giacomo Kerouac, one of Angelo’s frat brothers in Hapha Pisa Pi, crossed the country on a bicycle, discovering America, women, drugs, women, and flowers, as he related in his semi-autobiographical novel On The Rose. Truman Capote called it even less than typing.
Giacomo Puccini based his opera MADAME BUTTERFLY on a 13 minute affair he had with a manic-depressive hostess in his favorite Italian-Japanese steakhouse, DON KOREONI’S.
As a child Giacomo Puccini used to love to fill his pony Rodney with cloves, oregano and garlic and then ride atop the giddy animal proclaiming what a superior equestrian he was. This prompted Puccini’s mother to frequently say, “Giacomo, get off your high horse!”
Horses that got high from the aforementioned ingredients were said to have “cloven hooves”. Their devilish behavior became synonymous with Satan, a known clove toker and owner of split-footed appendages hisownself.

::I can’t help but picture some poor kid doing a homework assignment or term paper, finding these bon mots on a Google search, and including them in his work; makes you wonder if we’ve started something that can’t be contained: “No, really, Professor Smith!

The word bon mot in original French translates to “bun mouth.” It was used early as a compliment to something very tasty, as in "I want to put that very good bun into my mouth. Over the many years, the definition was bastardized and evolved into meaning something witty or a quip.
My Ouija board told me you were dangerous and should not be given scissors.
In play:
Francois Phartuccio was a dismal failure at witty conversation because his mother always burned the buns. Historians discovered that she was an undiagnosed dyslexic who set the oven at 530 degrees instead of 350.
the play Six Degrees of Separation was originally called 530 Degrees of Separation, but the dyslexic cut-and-paste artist doing the Playbills should not have been given scissors.
The original production of Six Degrees of Separation starred Kevin Bacon as the gay black man who claims to be Sidney Poitier’s son.
Sammy Davis Jr. wrote a scathing review of the original production of Six Degrees of Separation, entitled “Bacon Is Not Kosher.”
Kosher stands for kitchen of sterile Hassidic errant Roy, after Judge Roy Bean’s great-great-great-grandfather, Roy the Mohel.
Keanu Reeves is geared to star in the upcoming Broadway musical Ai, Chihuahua! based on the life of Judge Roy Bean. The late Bob Fosse has been hired to do the choreography courtesy of this October’s zombie apocalypse.
The name “Keanu” means “unable to act”, in Swahili.
According to Swahili language tradition, once a Swahilian name is given no other individual can have that name until the original owner of it passes away. There is currently a long waiting list for people hoping to use the name “Keanu.” Of course while there is nothing legally to be done if someone chooses to disregard the rule, it is interesting to note that Americans as well as other nationalities have so far respected the tradition.
While Americans and other nationalities have respected the Swahili language tradition regarding Keanu, there have been forty-two females given the name Keanunu and fourteen named Kuh Kuh Kuh Keanuh.
Nyota Uhuru is Swahili for either “Hailing frequencies open” or “He ain’t in, I’m putting you to his voicemail”, depending on the dialect.
“Hailing frequencies open” is Federationese for “The Brothel module’s running up on the Holodeck”.
