Great Post Mac

Wish I could have been there. The mafia guy actually gains face as well if he has a falang in his establishment. Especially a classy guy such as yourself.

I used to run a restaurant in Hong Kong and we had a known gangster come in with a limp and a caine, he had an entourage with him but my staff said do not go talk to him as I would usually do with a high profile guest. "Good evening how is your dinner," etc. They said he dosen't speak english and would lose face in front of his guests if I put him in that position and my cantonese was almost non-existent so I just stayed away.
