"But the quality of the recruits is really poor today."
I read about this somewhere; and in a way, I feel almost sorry for the mafia about their recruitment processes, and how the majority of their recruits nowadays are "really poor quality". I love the way you put it, Turnbull. That's smoother than smooth talking, if I ever I heard it!
Anyway, as one of my favourite t-shirts reads; "There are some things you can buy legally. For everything else, there's the mafia."
