Things I think of at work pt. 1
September 10, 2004
Do you think if I do a favor for the mob *now,* while I've got a lot going for me, I can ask one of them down the road when I hit hard times?
Or does it not work that way?

That's a good idea! In fact, I know this mob guy named Ashmen...no relation...that could use some money. If you were to fork over some green, he'd gladly help you out in the future. really.

Absolutely not…and I will tell you why. As absurd as this may sound…The Mob is a Christian run organization, just like The Catholic Church, Chik-Fil-A, and even Jars of Clay. While the public often views them as being a bunch of fat desert eagle toting bandits with Addidas warm ups and suspenders, the truth is the Mob is a well oiled machine with many of the same characteristics of the Early Christian church (or if you a conspiracy theorist like me…the Hidden Roman Empire. Yes, we too live in era where a Phantom Menace still looms.) But anyhow…now that I have crammed as many jokes into the first few sentences…I will continue.
If u were to ask the Godfather for a favor when you are in good standing…he cannot rightfully go through with that for you…unless you are a “made” man or woman…but that’s a whole other basket of eggs. Think about Church Institutions…they will do their darndest to get you a gameboy advanced if your mom is working 10 jobs and can only afford to get tiger handheld football. However, if you already have a GBA and you wanted a Gameboy SP….”fogedaboutit” (as the mob says). IN fact there is more of a chance of them asking for you to give your specially breeded Pikachu to the kid with Autism, then they are of giving you an SP.
So in conclusion…I have said nothing.

Depends, what kind of *mob* are we talking about here? Russian, Italian, Yakuza, etc? Each have a different structure and idealism surrounding them. Despite that, I would say go for it, a chip to cash in later could always be useful.

Be careful of the Yakuza, though, Lauren. They'll kill ya five times before you hit the ground.
