In Italy, it is considered to be a sign of great respect to receive the esteemed family hand pasta and a symbol that one has been accepted by the tribe. It is said that, despite his open mindedness, JFK was a bit taken aback by the gesture, though that may also be because on this occasion he was absolutely zonked.

Fuckin JFK's face - "What the fuck did I get myself into" haha

record scratch freeze frame Yep, that's me, President of the United States. You're probably wondering how I got here.

I think that's the guy who popularized Alfredo pasta. There's a great episode of Max Miller's "Tasting History" about it (YouTube).

No... That's 35th President of the United States of America.

I know it's a real picture, but this looks like something an AI would make

It's like he's about to shove it in his mouth lol.
