I amuse you? What do you mean funny? Funny how? How am I funny?

Hollywood didn’t invent these guys after all:
The trial of James “Whitey” Bulger descended into an expletive-laced shouting match Tuesday between the alleged mob boss and the former right-hand man who called him a rat.
The outburst happened as Kevin Weeks, who prosecutors say was an enforcer for Bulger’s team, was on the stand for a second day, giving graphic testimony about murders that Bulger is accused of committing.
“We killed people who are rats, and the two biggest rats were sitting right next to me,” he said, referring to Bulger and a cohort, Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, and their work as FBI informants.
At that point, Bulger, who has been stoic for most of the trial, hissed: “F— you!”
Weeks yelled back: “F— you! What are you going to do!”
