"Hey Frank! This one's for you! ~ Vincent (The Chin) Gigante

“Tell them I was arrested for carrying concealed ideas!” ~ "Machine-Gun" Jack McGurn

Lucchese soldier Eugenio (Gene) Giannini, talking with Joseph (Joe Cago) Valachi at the Lido Bar, shortly before Giannini is murdered, "Jesus, Joe, I had the creeps last night.

"What do you mean?" Valachi inquired.

Giannini, "I don't know. It's hard to explain. I feel like I'm going to be killed."

"What are you talking about?" Valachi quickly replied, dismissing that notion, "Why do you say a thing like that?"

Giannini, "It's just the way I feel."

To break the somber mood and throw Giannini off that conversation, Valachi called a girl over to the bar, introduced Giannini to her, and bought them a round of drinks. He whispered to Giannini to go with the girl, but Giannini said he was short on cash so Valachi handed him a $100 and said, "Go ahead and enjoy yourself, pal."

.....days later, the Pagano brothers and Fiore (Fury) Siano, under Valachi's direction, successfully carried out their contract and shot Giannini to death in East Harlem.

COSA NOSTRA…

The octopus is a sea animal with a soft body and eight arms called tentacles….Rows of round cups on the underside of each tentacle act much like a suction cup. These suckers can fasten tightly to any object, and may hold on even if the tentacle is cut off. If an octopus loses a tentacle, a new one grows in its place…

An octopus has two eyes and sees well. It has the most highly developed brain of all invertebrates….

Some kinds of octopuses inject a poison that paralyzes their prey…

The octopus can also squirt a black fluid forming a dark cloud that hides the animal so it can escape from sharks, whales, human beings and other enemies.

“You know what I’ll do? I’ll get a knife and cut out his tongue and we’ll mail it to his wife” ~ Giovanni (John) Stanfa

Be pretty funny if they used the guy's tongue to lick the envelope. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in THAT DNA lab!!
