Hi, my name is Joseph Pigliatti. I am also known as Joey thePig, Shotgun Joey, Joey the Mook, Mug Shot Joey, Joey Make MeWeep and Joey Cheesecake. If you don't mind, I prefer Joey thePig.

Anyhow, the good people at gambLiamnthis.com have asked me towrite an article about the time Octavio Waxed Ears Bertolucciput a hit on me. It is a bad memory but I will try.

The incident occurred at the Miami racetrack. Waxed Ears was amade man and he was showing off his brand new horse named Sissy.Waxed Ears loved this horse more than he loved his wife. And Idon't blame him, the horse was beautiful.

I was down in Miami on business and since I love to gamble Iwent to the racetrack. I ran into Waxed Ears at the bettingwindow where he insisted on taking me to the stables and showingme his new horse named Sissy.

Upon seeing the horse I immediately said "Waxed Ears, Sissy isso beautiful I could make love to it."

Unfortunately for me Waxed Ears is hard of hearing. Hence thenickname. I later found out that he thought I had said, "WaxedEars, you are a sissy and you are beautiful and I want to makelove to you."

As you can see there is a great big difference from what I saidand what Waxed Ears thought I said.

Anyhow, Waxed Ears put a contract out on me the next day. Tomake a long story short, I had to make things right with thelocal Don, Meatball Moe the Mobster. He squared things up for mewith Waxed Ears. But Waxed Ears has never forgiven me and hasnever spoken to me since. Though, every Valentine's Day he doessend me a card with flowers.

I hope the good people at gambLiamnthis.com liked my articleabout how I almost got whacked. I enjoyed remembering it.

Until next time, arrivederci.
