The life of a member of the mob is often mundane.. theyre just trying to make a nut like everyone else.

Passing by one of the young un's that I have gained nodding acquaintance with who hang out at the barber shop, he obviously had a bad weekend making money gambling. He let out a pithy burst of frustration so at least SOMEONE could hear...

"Life is like a shit sandwich. The more bread you have, the less shit you gotta eat."

Keeping our relationship at a nodding acquaintance, I smiled and nodded as we walked past each other.

I remembered the saying a little differently, but I gotta admit.. that one's pretty good.

I found myself saying it to other folk all during the day.

Im still loathe to admit that the saying is true.
