I feel like I'm in the Mafia
Right before Xmas I found out some people in our company who I didnt' think got bonuses got bonuses. So I thought I should too and said so to the head of our Dept. I got a bonus.

Then I decided I didn't want to spend Xmas at my sister's cause she has a big dog and GF's allergic and her inlaws who always come are kind of creepy - so I said, I'm staying home this year. And I did. And the world didn't end.

Then after Xmas I was travelling with my parents and we stopped at a McDonalds. I went in while they waited in the car, and for some reason it took forever. I was mad cause I felt I was already giving up good nutrition, the only point of going there was because it was supposed to be FAST. So when the manager handed me my bag and apologized for the wait, I said, I think you should give me some free cookies. And he did.

Then yesterday in our work cafeteria, they ran out of soup and when I asked for some more, the new Su chef came out and apologized and said today's lunch would be on him.

It's kind of like I made that first move toward assertiveness and suddenly it's like I've got the Jedi Mind trick working for me.

Hmmmm.

You will post on this thread....

3. "Stay out of the Papers"
My tiny bit of advice.

Otherwise, let's fire up the Lincolns!

9. "Don't Get Caught"
Leave the singing to Sinatra. Always keep your big mouth shut. ;)

Is there any way we can work a Western or Film Noir?

13. Oh, man, a Twilight Zone kind of film noir influence on a mafia film -
that would be pure fucking golden awesomeness!!

If only Welles had done one. Though Touch of Evil was close...

7. Mafia, my eye...more like "Ask, and it shall be given unto you."
Seek, and ye shall find
Knock, and the door will be opened unto you."

11. It's good you came to me first, and not the police
Someday you might be asked to perform a service for me. But until that day, and that day may never come, conside this a gift for posting on my thread.

14. You make them an offer they couldn't refuse?
Did you assure the McDonald's manager that either some free cookies, or his brains, would be in the bag?

15. I wasn't going to post, but....
I have this strange feeling that something bad might happen to me if I don't. May I kiss your ring on this most auspicious day of days? :scared:
