Hi! Maybe I got the word game (Make me ONE -like a person- with everything, instead of the hot dog) but it still seems a bit weak so I don’t know if I got it right.
From your explanation it would seem that you have got it, Lollina:
1) Preparami un hot dog con tutti i condimenti
2) fai che io sia una cosa sola con tutto l’universo
Yes?
Wow, I knew there was something slightly wrong (as I am usually wrong, for word games in english)! I thought about a contradiction between the humble monk and ‘one who has everything’, that’s the only thing that came to my mind, but it was not so funny, now I get the second meaning, thanks.
