After about 2 months he saves the $300 for the shoes and purchases them.

Every Friday night the Italian community gets together at a dance at the Veneto Club, so Paolo seizes the opportunity to wear his new Bocceli leather shoes to the dance. He askes Sophia to dance, and as they dance he asks her, “Sophia, do you wear red panties tonight?”

Sophia, startled, says, “Yes, Paolo, I do wear red panties tonight, but how do you know?”

Paolo replies, “I see the reflection in my new $300 Bocceli leather shoes. How do you like them?”

Next he asks Rosa to dance, and after a few minutes he says to her, “Rosa, do you wear white panties tonight?”

Rosa answers, “Yes, Paolo, I do, but how do you know that?”

He answers, “I see the reflection in my new $300 Bocceli leather shoes. How do you like them?” Now as the evening is almost over and the last song is being played, Paolo asks Carmella to dance. Midway through the dance his face turns red. He says, “Carmella, be stilla my heart. Pleasa tella me you wear no panties tonight, pleasa, pleasa, tella me thisa be true!”

Carmella smiles coyly and answers, “Yes Paolo, I wear no panties tonight.”

Paolo gasps and says, “Thanka God… I thought I had a CRACK in my new $300 Bocceli leather shoes.”
