Your story is so familiar, I wonder if maybe I misremembered that one.

Thought I’d read your exact post before even :)

Whoa, this is like...real-time archaeology of my own brain. I know for sure I've read this tweet before (when I was writing it, I was about to write "New Jersey" but that didn't sound right so I left the state off entirely). I bet I probably have also heard the Italian grandma story, and mixed them both in my head because what are the odds that there are three such stories? (including the one I posted originally about the mafia front that went legit because the pizza biz was better).
