The Little Things

 

It’s the little things that get you.  With Osama Bin Laden it seems it was the laundry hanging on clothes lines that first made up CIA Director Leon Panetta’s mind and then President Obama’s mind, that Osama was in that compound.  Then came the Navy Seals and well you know the rest of the story.  That laundry on the line was sort of “alle acta est” for CIA Director Panetta and President Obama and also for poor ole Osama.  Too bad Osama didn’t spring for a washer dryer set for his wives to do the laundry with.  If he had, he might still be eating olives from his garden and watching porn on his computer.  Like we said it’s the little things that get you. 

 

Now take Lawrence Michael Handley.  He hired two guys to kidnap his estranged wife.  They broke into her house, handcuffed her and then shoved her in a Van.  As Kidnappers they were doing just fine but then they didn’t drive too well and the State Troopers saw the Van weaving through the streets.  The State Troopers went to stop the Van and the two kidnappers tried to speed away but they drove into a dead end.  The kidnappers bolted from the Van and as the Troopers chased after them, the kidnappers tried to swim across a Canal.  While they were bad drivers, they were worse swimmers and they drowned.  

And too bad for Lawrence Michael Handley the estranged husband, as he had rented the van and he’d bought the handcuffs, both of which were traced back to him.  Guess he figured if things went as planned, he could return the Van and get rid of the handcuffs.  But as they say, all plans fall apart upon first contact with the enemy.  And, it’s those little things, that get you.

 

And the Yankees just traded for a guy named Joey Gallo.  He’s no relation to the infamous Joey Gallo of yesteryear.  That guy known as Crazy Joey Gallo, was a made member of the Profaci family.  Crazy Joey Gallo was one of the guys who whacked Albert Anastasia while he sat in a barber's chair in the Park Sheraton Hotel in the middle of the day.  No, this new Joey Gallo grew up in Nevada and wasn’t even born until 1993.  Still since this new Joey Gallo will be living in New York City maybe someone should tell him that eating at Umberto’s Clam Bar, isn’t such a hot idea.  It’s those little things that get you.
