It was probably the "sauce" that ol' Sparkly forced him to put on the pasta.
Remember that like Hitler, the old dude is a lapsed Catholic.
A lapsed Catholic is NOT the same thing as a lapsed Presbyterian or a lapsed Baptist.
An ex-Presbyterian or an ex-Baptist can be nonchalant or indifferent about that which he has rejected, but an ex-Catholic inevitably is especially vile, flipping from "love" to "Hate" all the way. I give you the examples of the
Die alte Sau, the defrocked warped primitive, Mrs. Alfred Packer the hippywife primitive, Beth, the Bostonian Drunkard, &c., &c., &c.
Especially the example of the defrocked warped primitive, she with the face like Hindenberg's.
I dunno why this is, but that's the way it is.
