because I really don't understand what this means...I mean it looks bad ass, I just don't really know what has happened, or why they killed the trumpet player?

Anyone want to explain? Am I looking to much into this?

it's because mob musicians used to carry weapons in their instrument cases, and the homie who actually brought an instrument was ill prepared for the showdown, and thus has been outlined in chalk and stuffed into the case of another instrument.



what i dont get is why they outlined him in chalk before they stuffed him in the case.

sleeping with the fishes only applies to death by drowning. so its completely needless to say because it isnt true.

I'm pretty sure that "sleeping with the fishes" refers to dumping the corpse into a body of water after a murder, not murder by drowning itself.



And that case totally has a one-way trip into the nearest river.

I was under the same impression that lonegoat is. The term itself would make more sense referring to a dead body that is submerged in water than just the act of drowning in water.



I was joking, but I guess humor is lost on 15.9 year olds.

Hey, it's in wikipedia too!



The phrases "To Sleep With The Fish", or "He Sleeps With The Fishes" are slang, and trace their origin back to the practice of dumping a dead body, often laden with weight, into a large body of water.



This practice was commonly used by the mafia in the 1920's, along with the practice of sending a dead fish to interested parties as a coded message to indicate that a murder had taken place.

I think the story is pretty obviouis.



When the police came by, they found the trumpet player dead on the ground. They had an investigation. They drew a chalk line around the body during the investigation, so they could know where the body was, then they took the body away to the morgue. After the investigation was over, they went home. Meanwhile, the bad guys went to the morgue and stole the body, stuffed it into the double bass case, and took off. Just to be smart alecks, they went back to the scene of the crime to have their picture taken. It's that picture that's on the front of this shirt. Once the picture was taken, they drove over to the bay, gave the dead guy some cement shoes, and threw him into the water. And that's where he is now, sleeping with the fishes.



After the police investigation was over, these guys we

Some guy on another blog said that trumpet players are all arrogant. Maybe these guys just got tired of him and his ego?
