"Io sono strano, come Nino Strano"
Frank made up that rap one night. The flyer clearly says that he's a psychic and a "teacher of occult science" who will "look into the future with optimism."
Since Frank can't really speak Italian, he took some of the words he understood like "optimism," and in the fine print it says stuff like "beautiful house," "good life," etc. and he asked my cousin if Nino Strano was a mafia man looking to recruit people, haha. It became an on going joke for the rest of the trip.
