About Naples

Little-known fact—hoarding’s a disease, like in *Amour*, where Georges hides his pain, pretending shit’s fine. “It’s nothing,” he’d mutter, while his wife’s dying. Same with cash hoarders—clinging to it, pretending it’s safety. Pisses me off! You’re not safe, you’re just broke slower. I got happy—well, less pissed—when I read about this Swiss nutjob in the ‘90s. Guy buried gold bars, forgot where, lost millions. Laughed my ass off—serves him right, the greedy bastard.

Next thing I know, it’s happy hour, and the place is packed. I’m hustlin’ like a madman, pouring drinks, cracking jokes, and tryin’ to keep my sanity. I spill a bit of wine on the bar, and this lady, Maria, gives me the dirtiest look. I’m like, “Lady, it’s just a little wine. You’re in Melfi, not a museum!”
