Gambling Club Owner “Birthday” Cakes
Text
Al Kleindienst explained that he met a Dakin Street club owner because the owner would frequent the Kleindienst bakery. Al asked the man why he was always buying so many birthday cakes, and the owner explained that "if he was informed that they was going to have a raid, they would turn the table upside down, put the cake in the middle of the table, and everybody would gather around and they would start singing happy birthday."
