Picking your own fruit and asking if you want it. Now THAT is funny. I have never heard of this before. I think these things are funnier in a foreign country. I think if that fruit thing happened here in the US- police, arrests, court and a lawsuit would probably ensue :) I remember when I first went to Italy- the little Italian men that be befriended at our local cafe warned C and I about me getting pinched all the time.
