they always succumb to tears. they will not shoot u if u try ur best. but if ur all arrogant - then they fire the ak 47. (i actually haven't tried tears in the lesson - but imagine that if i wanted to get somewhere - it might be worth a try. sort of kidding though. i mean a 45 year old crying might be too dramatic.) suppose that a gift card to their fav. restaurant m ight work.
i think the best thing to give the mafia is practice practice. then, if they shoot - they have something to shoot at. and, u don't feel as bad as if u haven't done ur best. say, if someone shoots holes in what u did - u just say - well, it was defiantely my very very best. so, i don't care.
now, if ur really good then u have to think about a get away car. a limo of some kind. bullet proof. what to do immediately after the encore. some kind of magic trick where u go through a secret door to secret garage adn escape that way. and, ur hands and everything have to be protected. suppose it is a secret and glam life at the top. but, how many people are really there? and, how many give it up to just be normal and not worry about what everyone else thinks is 'being at the top.' i mean, andre watts is probably careful of his hands, but i think he is quite normal about talking to fans,e tc. he doesn't seem mafiaish. maybe the ones that are mafia like have some kind of psychological problems.
