Offensive comments include anything about pimping, about people's moms and scoring women. Nobody cares about your sexual impulses, least of all the OP.

My great-grandfather rocking the mafioso look back in the 1920s.

He never worked a day in his life and lost all of my great grandma's money drinking and gambling, so not the most profitable gangster after all.
