I'd have to say I enjoyed that story very much! It just seems like you left a lot out though... I'm wondering why you thought that they were such "hard hitters" or "old school underground mafia"... how could you tell they were crooks? I do not doubt you, just really intrigued by this story. Why didn't you take the Prez up on his offer? Do you want to do manual labor for the rest of your life? I would think getting involved with them would have raised your pay...

LOL! From reading a few of your stories it seems you are perceived as a leader, why not live it and embrace it??? Don't you think that you could make a difference in anything that would get involved in? I guess going through what I have, one thing I’ve learned is that perception is everything… and if that is the way the majority perceives them, then that is the way “they are”.
