It’s an old joke derived from American mafia movies where they’re demanding “protection” money from a business owner. They say stuff like “you got a real nice shop here… be a shame if something happened to it. If you pay me, my boys will make sure it doesn’t mysteriously burn down one night.”
Ah. Yeah I'm slow. LOL
