Are mobs still around? Excuse my crime ignorance, but it's been awhile since I've heard much about the mob![]()
yes, they are still around. Maybe not as big as they once were but still there nonetheless I guess being a jersey girl and all sometimes I don't realize that not everyone knows someone who is.... well, you know, family![]()
My mom grew up in an Italian neighbourhood in Queens (she isn't Italian, but whatever) and she knew who was *family*. We live an hour or so north of the city now, but I can still go into an Italian restaurant and pick out who's *family*. I guess it's just something we take for granted up here.![]()
I had an Uncle Catfish. Yes. We called him Uncle Catfish. I'm pretty sure of 2 things.. 1. His name wasn't Catfish and 2. He was in the mob. But goodness, how and why would there be a mob in Florida? What are they trying to do? Control the tourist attractions and pina coladas?Southwestern PA, too.Oh, everyone should have an Uncle Primo, Uncle Geno...

Maybe it was a wrong number.
Like this one
**Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg,**
**'Hello?'**
**'Hi honey.**
**This is Daddy.**
**Is Mommy near the phone?'**
'No, Daddy.**
**She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'**
*After a brief pause,**
**Daddy says,**
**'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'**
**'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy,**
**Right now..'**
Brief Pause.
*'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.**
**Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs**
**And knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy**
**That Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway.'**
**'Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.'**
**A few minutes later**
**The little girl comes back to the phone.**
**'I did it, Daddy.'**
**'And what happened, honey?' **
'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming.**
**Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser**
**And now she isn't moving at all!'**
**'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?'**
**'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.**
**He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window**
**And into the swimming pool.**
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water**
**Last week to clean it.**
**He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'**
*****Long Pause*****
*****Longer Pause*****
*****Even Longer Pause*****
**Then Daddy says,**
**'Swimming pool? ...........**
**Is this 486-5731?'*
**No, I think you have the wrong number........*
I threw mine out about 10 years ago.... And yes there are STILL MOBS in NY and here in Miami too.
Just bumping.....update???? Did the OP forget about us or did something happen to her?![]()
Keep us posted, I'm a Jersey girl too so of course, I find this very interesting!!![]()

We still have an answering machine. It gets good use too. No sense paying for voicemail every month.

...I....do........![]()


Maybe the perpetrator is a DISer, and he got to her!![]()

"They'll never find them there..." LOLThen it would be the DISer Protection Program! Go hide on the Technical Board.
