You put the wool over Sal's eyes. Yes, Mr. Orcin, you fooled Ol' Sal by trading someone he didn't think you would trade.
But Sal is too distracted to notice at the moment. You see, he is still fixated on this Jones from Youngstown. You know, that the founder of Youngstown College--as it was known back then--was also the name of Jones. There is a statue of President Jones on campus; he was the founder and first president. Sal knows. As an alumnus, Sal donated to the statue. Well, ok, maybe Sal exaggerates a little bit; Sal is not an alumnus, but it is the only school from which Sal was expelled. Sal considers that alumni status.
But better than the statue, the oldest building on campus is Jones Hall. Your Jones could tell you all of this, Mr. Orcin, of course. But Sal likes to feel useful, and Sal is an old man who does not feel much any more. Jones Hall is the signature building on campus. You must send your Jones to see Sal some day soon. We have lots to talk about, n'est pas?
