Show Description

Punching in at the studio Frank Field and the weather Shep and his friend Bob go to Napoli. A local cabbie takes them for a 'ride' First he takes them to a restaurant where they end up paying $52 for a stuffed panda bear and get a meal of plastic spaghetti with cool aid sauce. They decide to get a bottle of wine and go back to the hotel. The cabbie has a friend who owns a liquor store. It's after hours, so the cabbie has them wait in the cab. He goes in to buy a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine, comes out with them wrapped in brown bags and tells them to hide them since it is after hours and don't take them out of the bag until they get back to their room. $25 per bottle - "The best wine in Italy" Back at the room they open the wine and all they got were 2 bottles of water. The whole evening including the $27 cab ride came to almost $200 and they realized they were the victims of a flim flam.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
