9. You must never look at the wives/girlfriends of fellow mobsters.
8.You cannot know, be related to or be seen with a cop or even within a mile of a donut shop.
7. You cannot hang with known members of the mob in pubs or anywhere that mobsters might choose to be at.
6. You must always be available for the Don even if your wife’s giving birth.
5. You cannot cancel appointments with the Don, it’s disrespectful, and horses heads don’t go well with your bedroom decor.
4. You cannot slap/hit/punch your wife in public.
3.You must answer the truth, as you see it.
2.You cannot steal from fellow mob members or take anything that belongs to other family members.
