Oh, dear. The way things are going, if someone wishes you "in bocca a
lupo," you might get bitten by a dog. :-)

Makes me think of watching a Tony awards show years ago, in which Tommy Tune
was a presenter. He had broken a foot a few weeks before, and came out on
crutches. (I had a chance to stand near him once, and I'm sure the crutches
were as tall as I am!) He started by saying, "That's the last time I say
'thank you' when someone tells me to break a leg."

Anyway, knock 'em dead. Remember, those of us who really ARE hot stuff
don't have to lord it over anyone else!
