Dennis.... I know it was a joke, but.... the REAL reason Italians are nicknamed **** (and this is for REAL), is because when a lot of them went through Ellis Island after coming to America, they didn't have the proper paperwork with them, so the Government stamped their forms, *** (WITHOUT PAPERS).... and that is actually the way they got that nickname.... FOR REAL!!
Now, do you know why MOST Italians are named TONY???
Because as they were getting on the boat, they had to stamp their heads, TO NY!! (now, THAT'S a joke)!.... lmao
