[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@HMRLTL Well, the torture joke is part of a conversation (in the "Grab That Dough" episode) and not so much a story; it's _almost_ a "Picture It" story. But Charles the Mole is totally a Sophia story, so this video is not *Every* tale she regaled the girls with.

They should make a Golden Girls prequel about Sophia’s adventures in Sicily. I mean they should have…30 years ago.
