Al Capone came back to his hideout in Chicago one day, having just purchased a beautiful pair of spats, fine examples of the shoemaker's craft. He was very pleased with his purchase, and because he was about to go out with his gang to whack Bugsy and his boys, he decided not to wear them in case he got blood on the white leather. Impossible to get such stains out, you understand.
Anyway, he left them out on his desk to change into when he returned. Upon coming back later that day, he walked into the office in time to see a cat up on his desk, chewing away at his wonderful spats. He let out a cry of anguish which alerted the cat, and it shot off the desk and out through the open window that it had obviously used to gain access earlier on.
He immediately called his gang together, and put out a contract on the poor cat. He gave them a detailed description of thge offending animal, and sent them out to comb the streets of Chicago for it.
Eventually, after seeing many stray cats but not the one matching the description, Rizzo and his buddy Mugsy find a likely candidate, several blocks from the hideout. They open fire and kill the poor creature, then pick it up by the tail and carry it back to Al Capone. Being very careful not to drip blood on the carpet (because Tommy guns make quite a ess of small mammals) they hold the hapless feline up for inspection. Al Capone is engrossed in something and doesn't look up. Noting their respectful silence he just says "Well what is it boys, sing out" at which, not wanting to upset the boss in his emotional frame of mind, they clear their throats and in harmony they chorus........
Wait for it............
"Pardon me boss, is this the cat that chewed your new shoes........................."
