<p>[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 14058, member: 103"]Here's the story: the elderly man is one of the "women are the inferior sex" ilk, and he cannot bear to be questioned, especially by his wife (the lady in the pink skirt), and especially when she is right, and very especially when she has a problem with him opening yet another bottle of Chianti. The couple's son is seen remonstrating with Mama for allowing Papa to browbeat her, and to try to smoke her out, which is a cowardly thing to do! Mama is trying to calm down Junior (who is threatening fisticuffs), because she doesn't want her son carted away by the Carabineri, and because doesn't want anything to further upset Papa in whom smoke precedes fire.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next day Mama fills the pipe with a lovingly packed clump of dried belladonna, and Papa goes quite, quite mad and jumps to a liquid death in the Alcantara.</p><p><br /></p><p>Peace to all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
