Hoods vs. Thugs

Look, we all aspire to something, right? We want Mother to be proud of us, right? Get a good job, get an education, right?

But just imagine being an eternal asshole. Please, just imagine it. With all the bells and whistles. The gang tatoos, the assholish attitude.

Whoops, sorry, you don't have to imagine.

But there is a difference between hoodlums and thugs. I'll just go ahead and tell you the difference, shall I?

A hood is Frank Sinatra. Cheap suits, but style. A thug is a cheap dude with 'tude, like Pablo Escobar, Noriega or Idi Amin.

Oh, forgot the most notorious thug of mankind, Good ol' Adolf. But there's a reason they called him "The Paperhanger" and they never said that of Sam Giancana or Bugsy.

Because an asshole is an asshole, whatever you want to call him.

But an asshole with class is never a thug.

I thought I'd just pass that by.
