I was once the victim of an Italian virus attack and it was a bejeezus of a chore to clean up after that one!

I got a virus when I was in France and it took three shots of penicillin to clean one that up.

Now that I think about it, the girl who gave me the virus had hairier than average legs, so she might have been Italian... I'm not saying she had hairy legs, but she had dandruff on her shoes.
