Disturbing Things My Boss Does: One in a Series

When his son(Sparky) was in college, they got into a fight over the phone,
and his son hung up. His father sent a man over to his college in upstate
New York to knock on his son's window in the middle of the night. When
Sparky woke up and saw the man at the window,the man said to him "Your
father says hello." I'd say this was a mafia intimidation tactic, but even
as dark as Tony Soprano's been portrayed this season, he'd never use
something like that to deal with his children, no matter how out of control
they got. I could see him killing them under certain circumstances, but not
exercising such a meaningless show of intimidation. But such things are my
boss's lifeblood.
