A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:

"Emma come first. Den I come. Den! two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."

"You foul-mouthed, sex obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country…. we don’t speak aloud in public places about our sex lives."

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin’ abouta sex? I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spell Mississippi."
