Dangerous Italian Fantasy

Bookmark This Page

An Italian Fantasy!This particular Italian fantasy of mine began after watching the Godfather trilogy one too many times and then noticing that there are such things as Italian dating sites. I'm sure this will sound like a horrible idea to anyone with an ounce of common sense, but my theory is that marrying into a mafia family would solve all of my problems. Sure, I know what you're thinking: Sonny is going to get wasted in a hail of gunfire, and I'm going to take that lonely, one-way trip to the airport after getting smacked around a bit for good measure. This is definitely one of those ideas that seem to be destined for a bad ending, but I think, with proper planning, this fantasy can be salvaged.

First, let us think about all the benefits that make this plan so attractive. You get to wear really nice suits, drink really good wine and maintain a posh lifestyle, all of this paid for by your new, cushy and fabulously overpaid job that is given to you because no self-respecting crime boss would let his daughter marry a nine-to-five chump. You can get drunk and mouth-off in bars and everyone will let you get away with it. Family dinners, while stressful, will have exceptionally good food. And last, but not least: if all goes according to plan, you'll have a spicy Italian wife.

Now, obviously, there are downsides. The first time you meet the in-laws you really might get killed. You'll need to make a decent investment in your appearance if you're going to survive the first encounter, but provided you don't wake up next to a severed animal head, and you do wake up, you'll know that your golden new life awaits. Now, it's true that your new job will probably be a front and you could wind up in jail, but two wonderful words can keep you safe here: plausible deniability. Here, your weakness becomes your strength. You are just a twit that the daughter likes. No one is going to trust you, and no one is going to tell you anything important. You didn't see anything, and you don't know anything, got it? And as long as you keep your wife happy with a fine romance, they're not likely to use you as a patsy.
