HHMMM Joke this JR !!!.... Channing Dont listen to anyone that has
to quote " Babelfish" as reference..
I did some digging and called the ' Italian Embassyy to enquire about
your dilemma...
It appears that when Guseppi spotted your package,,,, he said ,,,
Looky Alfonzo da packe.. shes from San fransisco,,,, It could a be
from " Anthony Benaditto.".. thats a Nice! OK !!
So they passed the pacake around and thumped it , bumped it wondering
what it could be,,,, they Tossed it like a Pizza PIE,,, then even
sent it to Mimi the local wine stomper and he jumped up and down on
it...
Then it went on a Journet,,, to Roma, Naples, Venice, and became a
spectacle.... could it be the Boxa of
Anthonty Benaditto ???? from San Frabcisco?//
Finally,,,,Geppetto, head of foriegn packages took
the damn package and opened it. and inspected.. to which he said
"Mama MIA' '' its a fricken book!!!! and he threw the Box in the
corner,,,
The entire Country of Italy cried and declared a public holiday,
schoolchildren were sent home..... and there
was a sadness in the air felt in all Europe..... OK??? so they
all decided senda Back the BOX to the
yankee dog that denied them all Of Anthony Benidiito... Cd... (
Tony Bennett)
Its not what you wanted to hear... But alot more fact then JRs
-babelfish theory ( thats like a crackerbox prize)
And as to why they sent JR'S check back, DUHHHHH ,, they were being
polite, when they saw who wanted to come stay at their hotel.. and saw
' JR" Richarson.... they put it in the " Non Entressso File" as In
we donta a wnat dis guy in our Place ever "
But You didnt understand Kind Italianos People... and when the check
arrived ( It was there whole time),, they hoped you would take a hint
and use it to LEAVE and get a one way ticket back to whereever
boonies you live...!!
But did you get it?? NOOOOOOOOOO
Hop this clarifies once and all ..
The italian Postal system is Justa Fine..... they just are getting
tired of americans and want some Anthony Benaditto cds.

Jeez, but this list is full of jokers, ain't it? On the chance that
you actually did want to know what "Non Ammesso" means, the online
translator at Yahoo says it means: "Not Admitted"
-- http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt
Not very helpful, I'm sure. You already knew they didn't admit it, it
would have been nice if they said *why*. But I as the jokers pointed
out, this is an Italian bureaucracy we're talking about -- I once
sent a check to a hotel in Venice to hold my reservation 6 weeks in
advance of my arrival. When I got there the hotel (where I had stayed
several times before) had not received it and been unable to hold my
reservation at that crowded time of the year -- but since they knew
me they found me a tiny attic room on the cuff. Three days later, the
clerk stopped me in the lobby and said, "Hey, look what just arrived
in this morning's post..." Sure enough, it was my 6-week old letter
with the check in it.
My guess is that there was something about the customs form they
didn't like... or maybe the address didn't match up with their system.

Perhaps someone on MOPO could explain what the phrase NON AMMESSO
means. I sent a book to Italy by Priority mail a few months back.
The client said they'd never received it and filed a claim with
Paypal saying non-receipt. I just got the package back today with a
pink sticker on it that said RETOUR (RINVIO). Checked below that
box it was marked NON AMMESSO. Does anyone know what happened to
this package from what I'm describing? Or what that phrase would
mean in this situation? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Channing Thomson
