Man's got to have a code

Here are the four big ones.

1. Omertà. Conspiracy of silence. Shhhh.

2. Menudo. Kids who hit the double digits have to bow out of the racket and button their lips forever.

3. Spare the lambs. Mafiosini do not involve innocents or babes in arms.

4. The kiss. If you ask for the kiss, and you get the kiss, you are in the game. Period.
