You see, in Italy we not only eat donkeys we use them to tell the time.

It wouldn’t be the first donkey in Piermont to be eaten nor the last. Asino salami is a specialty around here.

Time waits for no man. Except Italians. We refuse to live under the dictatorship of the clock.

I showed the video to Mrs Sensible and she pointed out 1 or 2 mistakes in the translation, fortunately I am not guilty of the errors, had I translated it there would have been far more mistakes.
My favorite actress is Maria Grazia Cucinotta, I loved her in il postino and I stick a provocative pic of her into my blog whenever I get a chance, here is Maria the girl who fills my car up https://englishmaninitaly.org/2012/11/23/a-sensible-post

In India we tell time differently – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTLANW0D4KQ – with an upturned bottle of old spice (re:mic), bell bottomed trousers, dancing girls and the greatest life advice of all time – you pick the time!
