I've been looking for a title for these stories for months. I had found a dozen or so, but none of them particularly appealed to me. One day I went to paint the car - the painter was a Russian-Polishman who spoke broken Greek. He told me he would need a week to keep the vehicle to do the painting. And he added generously: "I'll give you this 'Seicento' [a thirty-year-old 'FIAT' junker] to drive around, do your job until I'm done." "And how much did you get for this 'Seicento'?" I ask him. "Five hundred euros used," he replies, "but I dropped another grand and changed its spark plugs, callipers, everything, even the head gasket." I just heard what he said, I think to myself: "Oh boy, I got a title." The man meant to say "head gasket", but because he didn't know Greek well, he made the mistake (which is the right thing to say) by saying: "Faltza Kefalis".
