Thanks to all! As I suspected, It can only be called an Italian by reason of it's temporary residency. I'd like to think of the Madam or one of the girls tucking it into their garter at the brothel that was Ruby Red's in New Orleans, tho it was a hamberger joint when I was stationed nearby. Good burgers then, and I recall you get a bowl of monkey nuts (peanuts in the shell) on every table, and you were encouraged to add the shells to the already deep layer on the floor. The girl's rooms, no longer in use, were upstairs and outside off the courtyard. bar had a huge oil painting of Ruby. Sadly, it's no longer in business for either of it's past occupations I hear.
p.s.- Jim, I'm going to branch out into collecting nose hair scissors, cheaper and as I age, a more usefull edged assault weapon.
