Wow, you stayed here an year and you learned to speak one of those our helly
difficult dialects? Really good! I don't like bulgnais, but I must admire
you!

"Carlo ??? Hey, where are you from?"
      I'm quite American - you know, the usual mongrel mix of something like
Bavarian, Scotch-Irish, Cherokee, Pennsylvania Dutch, and other fine stocks.
However, a couple years ago I took a leave of absence from my school and
studied in Bologna with the fine folks in the Dipartimento (gia' Istituto)
di Glottologia at the University there, hence the nickname "Carlo."

I'd really like to enter a Departiment of Glottology or Linguistics, but
what can you do today with a degree in those subjects? As I often say to my
parents I'll get one of those degrees, in Philosophy or Linguistics, maybe
Theology... to become an unemployed!
