I was saying you don't need a proper way to say it. I don't fucking know, I haven't even seen any of the Godfathers, I've just heard the line. (I assume it comes from the Godfather)

for some reason this reminded me of that mathnews comic (waterloo math faculty paper) where the mathie is being held for ransom or something and he's told "im going to make you an offer you can't refuse"
a hilarious answer follows
but i can't find the comic
