I've told my friends that I was going to contact Vinnie and Guido to "take care of" the young man. Dey're from Chicago, see, an' dey know what to do. See, dey even bring der own concrete.

I actually know very few people in or around Chicago and nobody named "Vinnie" and/or "Guido".... To paraphrase what a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce said to me in Killarney many years ago, "I wouldn't know how to get in touch with the mob* if I had to."
