Poll question: I'm Sleepy and my grandfather knew Jimmy Hoffa, I am a dem too

I a freak of nature?

[sasquatch]

1. How did grandpa get the "Dead Hooker" smell out of the trunk of his car?

:evilgrin::silly:

[JohnKleeb]

2. He knew him in Detroit in the 30's

Oh and if you're impling my grandfather was the one who did Hoffa in, you'd be so wrong, he was a German not an Italian.

[sasquatch]

3. Hey the Germans had gangs too

In the German settlement nearby where I live called Miamisburg, there was a gang called "Orchard Hill". They did hits and everything that organized crime does.

[JohnKleeb]

Oh I know

Its just that this guy just was a sleepy drinker who left us too young.

[sasquatch]

4. BTW, I was wondering if grandpa did some "work" for Hoffa

[JohnKleeb]

5. hahaha no

[nuxvomica]

12. Are you implying that Italian-Americans whacked Hoffa?

That's just the kind of anti-Italian smear that folks like Joe Columbo were fighting against in the '70s. ;-)

[JohnKleeb]

13. hah why yes I am

hahaha I know actually about Joe Columbo's Italian American Civil Rights League, it got him killed actually I think. Who else would have killed Hoffa, :shrug:, certainly not English-Americans, anyhow what was Hoffa himself?

[nuxvomica]

14. LOL. I didn't think you'd catch the reference.

Stupid of me, I know. :dunce:

[JohnKleeb]

15. No, not at all

One of my all time favorite books is Wiseguy which became the masterpiece, Goodfellas, love that movie.

16. So if your grandfather knew Hoffa

and you're a dem, you're a freak of nature? That is so not good, man. Lol My grandfather was a Teamsters organizer, and one might even say under the circumstances that he worked for Hoffa lol. We are a family of Dems too, Southern ones no less, which is what makes me a freak of nature lol.

[JohnKleeb]

17. ha

Yeah my grandfather worked for the NLRB, and knew the Reuther brothers too.

[name not needed]

18. Where in the Meadowlands is your grandfather buried?
