Frank Sinatra vs. Mario Puzo
Sun, Dec 7, 2008
This is just so great.
Time has mercifully dimmed the humiliation of what followed. Sinatra started to shout abuse. I remember that, contrary to his reputation, he did not use foul language at all. The worst thing he called me was a pimp. I do remember him saying that if it wasn’t that I was so much older than he, he would beat the hell out of me. What hurt was that here he was, a northern Italian, threatening me, a southern Italian, with physical violence. This was roughly equivalent to Einstein pulling a knife on Al Capone. It just wasn’t done.
Sinatra kept up his abuse and I kept staring at him. He kept staring down at his plate. Yelling. He never looked up. Finally, I walked away and out of the restaurant.
My humiliation must have showed because he yelled after me, ‘Choke. Go ahead and choke.’

Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, sun damage, aging, poor hydration, smoking, and various other factors. The best for preventing wrinkles is drinking a lot of water. Then use a quality cream as this.
