Respectable?

One grandfather came to America one step ahead of the Carabinieri in Italy.
The other grandfather came to America as a runaway, in order to become a famous artist. All he got was hungry, so he had to get a job.
This guy, btw, is decended from another fellow whose claim to fame was that he was a successful horsethief.
But now, here I am, hanging out on Mudcat.

Maybe Europe is better off without us!

Karma!
