Nonna
For those of you who are not Italian, Nonna is grandmother!
A young girl was going on a date. Her nonna said: "Sit here and let me tell
you about those young boys.
He is going to try and kiss you, you are going to like that, but don't let
him do that.
He is going to try and feel your breast, you are going to like that, but
don't let him do that.
But most important, he is going to try and get on top of you to have his way
with you. You are going to like that, but don't let him do that. It will
disgrace the family."
With that bit of advice, the granddaughter went on her date.
The next day she told grandma that her date went just like she had predicted:
"Nonna, I didn't let him disgrace the family. When he tried, I just turned
over, got on top of him, and disgraced HIS family!"
Nonna fainted !!!

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded
state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war
is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions
of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
