    Why do Italian men grow mustaches?

    They want to look just like their mothers.

    What's the difference between a Sicilian grandmother and an elephant?

    About 50 lbs. and a black dress.

    How do you make up the difference?

    Put the elephant in a black dress and force feed it.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Dago is an ethnic slur for people of Italian descent in the US and Australia, but elsewhere it also refers to people of Hispanic and Portuguese descent.

    Dago can also refer to:
    "Dago" in Italian American culture can also be used as a term of endearment in the company of longstanding Italian American friendships
    Dago, Indonesia, an area of the city of Bandung, Indonesia
    Dago Creek is a feeder stream to, and located on, the northern shore of Ugashik Bay, Alaska
    Dago Mena in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan
    Dago Nawer in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan
    Dag?, the old Swedish name of Hiiumaa, second largest island in Estonia
    Dago, the alleged baptismal name of Mieszko I of Poland, as used in Dagome iudex
    Dago (comics), an Argentinian comic book character
    Dag?, an Estonian band
    DAGO (U.S. Army), an acronym for Department of the Army General Officer
    Dago, a colloquial term used by the United States Marine Corps to refer to San Diego (or to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego).
    Dago, pronounced d?goo, colloquial use for Madagascar by exiled natives or diaspora; As Tana is short for Antananarivo, the Capital city, Dago[1] is for Madagascar with a connotation of "sense of belonging"
    Dago, a nickname for San Diego (major city located in Southern California) used by local residents.

    My Grandfather was full blooded Sicilian. He and his wife came over from the old country on a ship in the early 1900's. They came through Ellis like most immigrants of the time. He was a barber and had a shop next to a funeral parlor somewhere in Chicago. One day he said, "Mamma, get the baby (my father). We must leave now!" And they moved to Los Angeles. Story is something went down at the funeral parlor and he was a witness.

    I met a preacher a few years ago with the same last name as me and first as my grandfather. He told a similar story about a forefather who he was named after who came over from the old country and that he was a barber, but the family lost track of him when he moved away unexpectedly without leaving a forwarding address.

    Small world.
