Remember Hill Street Blues, that cop show from the 1980s?

Veronica Hamill's character, named Joyce Something-or-Other was having an affair with one married police chief, Frank Furillo.

While fornicating here and there, she would call him "Pizza Man".

I saw this picture in our local Carnival Food Store ad, and wondered (aloud), "Why 'Pizza Man'? Why not 'Salami Man?"

After all, he is cute and all with those olive eyes. And he has a lot less grease than Pizza Man. But he does have onion breath.

Maybe the nickname "Salami Man" was already taken by Mrs. Furillo so they had to come up with something else.

At least it wasn't Fetuccini Man! That is hard to spell!

Feel free to crop Salami Man and use as your AIM buddy icon.
