As an aside from the childish ramblings above, I’m reading the latest from James Lee Burke, my favorite fiction author. One of his characters describes Mob guys as follows:

mob guys

Skipped toilet training
Smell like salami, their hair tonic and BO
Are too lazy or stupid to hold an honest job
Terrorize fellow immigrants
Thought up crap about patron saints
Smear blood on each other while swearing themselves to secrecy
And call themselves men of honor

That’s paraphrasing and I’d add

They live like rats in a sewer
They have one of two endings: get murdered or die in jail

Jim
