Vinnie is an old fart from Hoboken, New Jersey.

A city of mozzarella, cheesesteak sandwiches, and freshly sliced gabagool.

A city of kneecappers, knuckleheads, meat-cutters, and dockworkers.

When a bad ticker nearly kills Vinnie dead, he wises up. He resolves to get healthy, once and for all.

He does what any gentlemen of a certain age would do to reverse the long, undignified slide to Fat City.

He starts to dance.

Now everyone on this side of the Hudson River hates his guts.
