Vietato fumare nella ristoranti? Que pazzo!!

Despite my being a nicotine nazi, I was shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that Italy has banned smoking in bars and restaurants.

Aaaaah, the memories .. driving on Sunday was especially dangerous. On many occasions, I was driven to distraction by the insanely perfect musculature of Italian men's legs as they assembled, en masse, for a Sunday bike ride. I was always shocked when I saw these men dismount at the bar for the obligatory grappa and cigarette, for those rock-hard, chiselled calves belonged to senior citizens.

I think we'll have pasta tonight.
