The
new immigrant from Italy was anxious to celebrate the holiday with his
new American neighbors and friends, and when they all explained the
significance of the Fourth of July (a little more quickly than his
Italian-trained ear could quite pick up) he was left with a question:
"What does it have to do with strong ice cream?" Huh? "I mean, why do
you send up fireworks for the forte gelato?" (Trust me, you have to
know or be an Italian to get it!)
