giancanaCHICAGO – Sam Giancana, Windy City Bon Vivant and Man About Town, told associates he was going to Copenhagen this evening to assist the International Olympic Committee in deciding the location of the 2016 Summer Games. 

Mr. Giancana made his remarks during the course of a wire-tapped phone conversation earlier today.

“I will go to Copenhagen,” said Mr. Giancana.”  And I’ll show those [expletive deleted] Dutch [expletive deleted] wooden shoe-wearing [expletive deleted]  who’s boss. We’re getting the [expletive deleted] summer games, or I’ll be plugging more than [expletive deleted] dikes over there.”

Mr. Giancana was greeted by reporters before boarding an international flight. When asked why he was traveling with only a set of brass knuckles and six yards of piano wire, Mr. Giancana blushed. “These are props I might need for my presentation.”

Late Thursday, President Obama emerged from his private quarters to brief the press on Mr. Giancana’s mission.

“Mr. Sam is an extremely persuasive fellow,” he said. “I’m hopeful the members of the IOC will accede to the force of his oratorical skills.”
