Crap!

Answer from yesterday's Crap or Fact?
Sinatra did always carry a roll of dimes, but it grew out of the kidnapping of his son, Frank Jr., in 1963. The kidnappers told Sinatra to call only from pay phones—and during one call he ran out of coins. He vowed never to be without dimes again. He ended up paying the ransom of $250,000. The kidnappers were eventually caught, and Frank never stopped carrying a roll of dimes. (I bet he also carried brass knuckles and soap in a sock).

So it was CRAP that he cariied the roll of dimes to "knock some punk out." He was little more than a girl on a date always having a dime for a phone call!

Yes, the "knock some punk out" was CRAP. But I believe what you meant to say was "he became as smart as a grrrrrl, always having a dime for a phone call!"

Actually, I wanted to say he sounded like a little bitch!

I think we can be cocksure Frank is not a "little bitch"
