In the house of the MAFIOSO

This is the office/house Joe Bonanno!
A Victim!

I was sitting in a small room in one of the small offices just outside my hospital where we were having a meeting.

I was looking at the wall and I saw a vault (Khazneh).

I asked the secretary there, "what the hell is that vault doing here?"



She answered "We thought it wouldn't be nice to remove it from the wall"

I said "So why was there a vault in the first place??"

She was surprised with the question, smiled, and answered "Heeeey, this office was one of the houses of ...... Joe_Bonanno !

To those who don't know, Joe Bonano was a MAFIA leader who lived in Tucson and died 4 years ago. Somehow our hospital managed to get some of his properties.

Just looking at his vault made me shiver. I had the courage to stand up and touch it. I'm no sissy but really it takes a lot of courage to touch this thing and try 20 times to open it, as I did.

I can't remember anything mentioned in the meeting because I spent the entire time looking at the vault and the walls around me. I then hurried to Blockbuster video to buy all parts of the Godfather.

Godfather …..I've got the novel on the desk of my bedside with a heap of other favourits .
.this book never fails to grab all my brain cells while reading …amazing script that hooks the reader…you keep on wanting more as you read ..

It was said that Mario Puzo was inspired by Bonnano character when he drew the don image ..

I remember once seeing a documentary about the Mafioso in the states..i remember eating a family size of tortilla, eyes glued to the screen …they mentioned a brief history about the families ..Lucky Luciano and Costello and others … Am hooked in to this world ever since…

sheklo i'll grab the book tonight ....

What up with the God Father being a favorite for so many people. I dont get it. but then o never saw it.

Wedad,

America has a liking to the Mafia. They find it very interesting, hence the Sopranos popularity and the God Father. I dont know why, it just is.

Linda MAfia leaders have a lot of power, doing whatever they want, being rich and staying out of jail although everyone knows their criminla history, that's a lot of power and that's what's so attractive about them
