Cammie on IN BOCCA AL LUPO

[Guest guest]

It works for everything! My roommate swears that every time I say " in

bocca al lupo " to her she does really well in exams so I don't see why

it wouldn't work on creditors and surgeries. In Italy the way it works

is that someone tells you " In bocca al lupo " and you answer " Crepi "

which literally means - " In the mouth of the wolf " and the reply " may

the wolf die " i.e. does not eat me. Poor wolf but you get the gist!

I think maybe I'll work that in needlepoint!

Thanks... No sympathy for the wolf around here -- I saw too much

prepubescent Disney!
