Dear Mr. F Stop

Are you by any chance related to Honey Fitz, Money Fitz, Hava Fitz or Big Daddy Fitz?

The only reason I ask is that there many be some money left to you by a 4th cousin - Big Daddy Fitzgerald - who owned the Fitz Inn chain of motels in Lagos. He recently met an untimely end without a will or any relatives here in in Nigeria. We can help you clain the cash. All you need to do is help us with a tiny contribution for administrative costs (i.e. guns, money and lawyers).

Always at your sevice.

Dear Senor Regatta,
I am so happy you have found me. How lucky I am! When you stop and think about the odds, truly amazing. Here you are all the way over there in Nigeria, practically on the Swedish border and luck would have it that you would find me. I don't want to be push but my mother (104) would like to give you her entire estate, including the flamingo pond and race horses. If only you would accept this you would make an old dying woman very happy. She won't know she's happy becasuse she is still in a coma from the plane crash in 1932, but she is showing definite signs of recovery. Just 3 years ago the nurse swore that she moved her little toe. Let me know how much we can send. Is there a limit?
Respectfully yours,
FStop Fitzgerald

I bought that bottle and arranged to interview George in an elaborate plot to establish an alibi for me for the evening because I had been informed that there was to be a robbery that night and I could very well be accused if I couldn't prove my whereabouts somewhere else for that evening and early morning. I was told this by the two Hells Angles brothers that I had saved in a knife fight, my only act of heroism my entire life. They owed me so they were kind enough to tell me to cover my ass. That's when the Alfred Hitchcok twisted ending swirled in my brain and the simple robbery became a twisted plot, clever and successful both financially and with diabolical revenge. I reserve the right to tell the entire, unembellished, totally factual account of how this photograph came to be la cause de celebration of my best circus story.( Powód świętowania, the story of this celebration in Polish would be more accurate because of the unique Polish twist with Zieswa Acrombovitch #85.)
I believe this story should only be told with a bottle of single malt Bunnahabhain in a quiet dark place certainly not in NYC.
All of the above is based on fact. The only lie in the photograph is the bottle of whiskey. George Bruno was certainly not known for his drinking. Drinking and Breakaway Sway polls do not go together (except maybe for that crazy Japanese guy, but that's another story for another time.)
