**************************************************
I talked on the phone yesterday with my stock broker, Dinky Mungo.

You remember Dinky - he's a genius when it comes to making money.

I've known Dinky since High School, in fact he was voted "most likely to take a life" in our senior class year book. 

Anyway, he called to give me the bad news that the stock I had in that company that was marketing that "day after" birth control pill for men went bust.

Evidently it was a total scam and the company was just a front for an international narcotic drug smuggling cartel that has just been busted up by the FBI.

Wow! Who saw THAT coming.

Dinky told me not to worry though, his commission check cleared okay.

That's Dinky for you, he's always looking out for my money.

Anyway, I told him I'm a little tapped out right now for any new investments, but he came up with a really great idea.

He said that if I took out a $1 million dollar life insurance policy and named him as the sole beneficiary, he'd credit my account with $20,000 out of his own pocket so I can buy more stock. 

What a buddy! Easiest $20 grand I ever made!

Okay, I won't really see any of that money, it's just "on account", but I know it's real. Dinky would never cheat me.

**************
Anyway, Dinky introduced me to a friend of his named Guido Genovese.

Dinky said he's a member of a famous "family" out east that he sometimes does business with. 

Guido said he wanted to meet me to make sure "he got the right guy this time". 

I'm not sure what he meant by that.

Anyway, I over heard him talking with Dinky about me "sleeping with the fishes". 

I think he meant "SWIMMING" with the fishes, I think that's a new attraction at the local water park.

Sounds like fun! I'm really looking forward to it!

Guido also said something about giving me a pair of "cement overshoes". 

They can't be very comfortable, but they're probably pretty durable.

I'll be happy to give'm a try. 

**************
Anyway, I've noticed this Guido guy has been following me around all the time, taking notes on where I go and when I do stuff.

A little creepy, but if Dinky says he's okay, that's good enough for me.

I can't wait to see what Dinky comes up with next for me, I'm sure I'll get a real bang out of it :-)

**************
Today, Dinky told me Guido was in the hospital after shooting himself in the foot.

He was sharpening his stiletto switchblade when he accidently knocked his gun on the floor and it went off.

Anyway, at the hospital the FBI arrested him! 

He was evidently a "hit man" for the mob and they'd been looking for him for 19 murders. 

Boy, you can never tell about some people. 

And to think I was going to go swimming with this guy.
