An Italian was selling plaster of paris busts of great personages on the
streets in New York. His cry was “Garibaldi, the greata man ina Italy,
George Wash tha greata man ina United States. Tena centa each.”
An American, thinking to have some fun with him, took one of his busts
of Garibaldi, dropped it on the pavement and said, “To hell with your
Garibaldi.” The wop, not to be outdone, took one of his statues of
Washington, threw it on the sidewalk, and said “To hell with your Georga
Wash.”
