I ain't talking, both figuratively and literally
On this date back in 1930 Frank Calibrese and his cohorts were involved
in a shooting with rival gangsters. Frank was hit by five shots, one
of which smashed into his mouth and cut off his tongue. His partners
loaded him into their car and drove him to the house of one of Frank’s
distant relatives, Dr. Edward Caselnova. Realizing he couldn't do much
for him the doctor brought Frank to the hospital where police questioned
him. Since he was missing part of his tongue Frank was given pencil and paper and asked about the shooting. Frank
then wrote down his name and address, the location of where he was shot
and then died, leaving out the pertinent details of who shot him and why.

Word on the street was that he was shot by a gangster known only as The Cat. Yup, that right, Cat got his tongue.
