    I, too, have a pepper shaker hidden in my bed posts.

    I, too, also have a spare amount of commas, upon which I can pepper my replies with...with.

    Cannelloni might be more appropriate . . .

    Maybe he’s just sprinkling the hand of the dude with French fries. I assume this isn’t an authentic Italian restaurant if they’re serving fries in a paper tray..;)

    Okay, is this your comment or because some one told you? :)

    Never have seen pics to support this claim, but God Bless the fact we still talk about this. I wonder what the "Real" situation was.

    :D

    We started joking about it 25 years ago going out to eat with Ferrari guys. I haven't heard anyone talk about it for a long time, so had to bring back the legend. I think his life of dating and racing Ferraris is more interesting than this "little" legend.

    Once met the Dominican Ambassador in El Salvador, and when I mentioned I had met PR in Rome as a child,
    his first comment (at a dinner party :eek:) was that his father's (the Ambassador's) was bigger. All I could say...Congratulations, that is great. o_O
    Never expected a comment such as that from a total stranger, and an Ambassador.

    He then sent me a copy of PR's biography with about 8 blank pages ( printed in the Dominican Republic).
    This was done so badly, that the missing pages were random.
    Never saw him again.

    Regards, Alberto

    To be honest, I can't even remember how or where I first heard of this "story", it had to be way back when. Partially because stuff like this is on the internet, because like Rob, it was a long time ago. This was way before that. Maybe Forza magazine back in the day?

    I also have always have had the thought in my mind ANY time his name comes up, so that has to go back to the 90's. I also have never had someone bring it up, but every time I see a pepper grinder, regardless of size, I always think about that "story" and laugh in my head.
