Reminds me of a conversation with my son in his late teen years, when he had a fascination with The Sopranos. As Poseidon is my witness, this is true...
"Dad, you have to tell me the truth, OK?"
Knowing that these talks were always going to be good, "Yes, sure."
"Is anyone in the family connected?"
"Nope, not that I know of."
"Oh come on!!! Great Grandpa lived in Brooklyn!!"
"Son, I can't think of anyone more honest than your Great Grandfather. I'm sure he knew many Mafiosi in his life, but he wasn't involved"
"Dang, another potential career path down the drain!!!"
