Swampy: "How many scoops of coffee do we add to the pasta Chuck?"

Chuck: "Swampy, you sure this pot was only used for coffee? It sure looks like the pot from under Commodores special chair?"

Swampy: "Whatever you do Chuck, don't let Yak see us cook'n pasta this way, he'll either have his cousin Vinnie whack us or die laughing. I believe this is some kind of Eye-tal-yun blasphemy."

I thought that it was OK to cook pasta in a coffee pot if you used Tabasco? When you cook pasta in a mop bucket (for that special, unidentifiable flavor treat) use green chullatta sauce.

As the old WWII era cartoonist showed Willie and Joe:

"Drop them cans in the coffee gentle, Joe, there's a chicken stewin' on the bottom."

A friend of my dad told a story of hand loading M1 rounds, with a reduced charge and wooden slugs, and killing squirrils in Italy, during WWII. Then stewing the squirrills in a helmet over a wood fire.
I don't recall him saying anything about any pasta. But surely he had pasta as well. It was after all, Italy.

Jimsong San - wooden bullets??!! Good idea.

Italian# 1 to Italian# 2: "Who WAS that masked GI?"

Italian#2 to Italian# 1: "I don't know - but he gave me this wooden bullet."
