Most days Billy “Goat” Sianis summons a favored few pals to his table in the V.I.P (Very Insecure People) Room. And, as old men do, he tells stories of the past, of his boyhood in Greece, and wild times on Madison Street.
These are stores those at the table know well. Most of then have told the stories in print: how one of Billy’s goats escapes into the city sewer system; how, when Billy is arrested for speeding, he so charms the cop that he isn’t given a ticket but rather a free lunch; how he is served with a draft notice when he is 70; about formally applying to NASA for the first liquor license on the moon; the time he gets hi shoes stolen while vacationing in Ireland; when he bails two midgets out of jail after the couple is charged with drunken driving after leaving the tavern.

One day Sam says this pointing to his head: “I always tell my kids, you go to school. You get something in here. You get something in here and you can do anything. You can go into business ’cause anytime you got something in here, nobody’s ever going to be able to take it away from you. You can go into business and lose, but up in here [he taps his fingers to his head again] nobody can take it away.”
