The American mafia began in response to the actions of a group of men known as 'The Black Hand'. The Black Hand would attack and vandalise any business that were becoming too prosperous. They would send mail which would be signed with a black hand stamped at the bottom, in the years before fingerprinting.
Hence the term 'blackmail'.
Okay it's pretty short but very interesting I think.

It's two hours a day max.
What the f**k do you want from me.
