This would make a great episode of "Bones"

Dr. Temperance Brennan: I don't know what that means. I don't know what that is?

Special Agent Seeley Booth: That is wood, Bones...it's wood!

Dr. Temperance Brennan: Don't call me "Bones".

Great find, Great clip, clip-on-tie.

I forwarded this information to the Italian Tribune, America's largest Italian American Newspaper, with the message:

"Is there no limit to the creative genius of the Italian people?"
