I've seen Paisano get angry, but rightly so, as he was treated badly. I didn't blame him. Someone MUST have rubbed him the wrong way. I've never seen him violent either. He's funny, entertaining, endearing, and fascinating if you can get him to talk. He's Lebanese I believe.... something like that. My husband made the big mistake of greeting him in arabic. (It was the only phrase he knew. Learned it from a foreign graduate student) Paisano was overjoyed. Since hubby has a black beard, he was convinced Hubby was an arab and chattered away in arabic. He rushed up to greet him every time he saw him. Even cleaned a conch shell and offered it as a gift. We fed him a couple times. He's harmless, and very interesting. Someone must have hurt him in some way for him to act like that. He's mischievious, but not mean.
