(REQ) Ebay Forex System ... Magic Wave ..?


Recommended Posts

There used to be a very well renowned Italian restaurant in our area.

 

I had heard about it for years but never dined there.

 

So, we went.

 

Nice place, great food, high prices.

 

Comes the bill.

I whip out my credit card. "No credit cards. Cash only."

 

??? (this is an established restaurant)

 

"Will you take a check?"

 

Well, this caused a big commotion. Waiter disappeared, lots of discussion.

 

"Okay, we'll take a check, but just this once."

 

When the cancelled check came back from the bank I was curious and looked a the endorsement.

It was endorsed with a personal signature from a warehouse owner in the downtown Detroit docks area.

 

MONEY LAUNDERING?? YA THINK??!!

 

We did not return...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, coffee.

 

My wife and my shrink tell me that all the time.

 

The guy did give me a refund and I didn't flame him so all is well.

 

 

Thanks for your story. I'm "nosy as hell", too, that made me laugh.

 

I had a good friend who bought a restaurant; it took over his entire life. He ended up selling it at a loss and he was one smart businessman.

 

According to the Small Business Administration (SBS) about 90% of all new businesses fail within 5 years; the rate for new restaurants is around 99%.

 

So, I guess you have a better chance with forex than a restaurant.

 

 

Fart on!!

 

 

 

Angelo has been in the restaurant business

for 43 years and he and his wife want to retire.

 

Think of a classy neighborhood Steak House

with linen napkins/tablecloths, the cleanest

washrooms I've ever seen, fabulous food and

very affordable prices.

 

Since you're nosy (like me! ... LOL) the first

offer was for $ 142,000 but Angelo's

landlord wouldn't approve the purchaser.

(apparently he had a criminal record)

 

The current highest offer is for $ 115,000

which is an absolutely steal based on his

volume of business and location.

 

Unfortunately, Angelo also pointed out

that he's at the restaurant about

a 100 hours a week ... and when he's

not at the restaurant he's thinking/worrying

about it.

 

Yes, in comparison ... Forex is easy .... :)

LOL ...

 

We have an Italian restaurant like that near us now ..! LOL ...

 

My wife and I went once but the server was beyond

annoying ... you know the type, he introduced himself,

went into excruciating detail over the specials, went

over the menu personally and did everything but sit

down and eat at our table.

 

When we tried to eat he kept dropping by and

interrupting ...

 

I don't know if he was a part time performance

artist but the meal was more about 'him' than us.

 

That was our first and only visit.

 

I have heard the place has Mob connections ...

(money laundering?) so maybe they try to

discourage actual living, breathing customers.

 

For example ... they have a very visible outdoor

patio but I've never seen anyone (ever) eating

outside ...

 

I also don't know anyone locally who actually

goes there.

 

Maybe we were fortunate to make it out alive ... LOL ...

I live near Detroit (very near.. there's a novel in that alone), there have been rumors for years that many well-known Italian businesses around here are mobbed up.

 

Remarkably, there's a lot of evidence for it as well; I was friends with a woman (just friends), a veteran local television reporter whose husband was an FBI agent assigned here. LOTS of stories.

 

!!! Before any of our Italian members take offense, I'm half Sicilian (mama mia) and proud of it.

 

Se non lo gradite va la scopata voi stessi.

 

 

I couldn't care less about it either way, I just don't want to get shot.

 

On the other hand, New Year's Eve on the East Side Detroit border is much more dangerous (it sounds like the beginning of Desert Storm).

Bring in the dogs and hide in the basement.. have some champagne.. be thankful you don't catch any flak..

the background ...>

mean to offend" ... <grovelling slightly ...>

 

... "I had no idea you had business interests in

my area ... please accept my humblest apologies ..."

 

... "I hope you have a great summer making the hoodlums

who are disturbing your sleep with their gunfire

sleep with the fishes ...

 

 

 

Most Sincerely,

Note: I have watched enough mainstream entertainment

involving the Mafia .. (the Godfather movies, The

Sopranos, Scorsese movies etc. etc. etc.) to notice

that disposal of bodies frequently becomes a problem.

 

I've always thought the answer was fairly straightforward ...

the Mob either owns or makes arrangements with Funeral Homes

to use their crematoriums ... no fuss, no muss ...

 

Am I displaying criminal inclinations ..? or this is

just too obvious for words ..? LOL ...

"Don Conglo"... cracked me up..

 

 

You've nailed it about the funeral homes..

 

There's a very well established, high-toned, expensive funeral home in the area that's rumored to be owned by the mob.

 

I knew a woman who had her husband cremated there.. his ashes were returned to her in a used coffee can..

Geez, that has to be one of the cheapest, cheesiest, most unprofessional

things I've ever heard ... :(

 

When I die I want to be buried in one of these ...
