Fun fact: During Prohibition, police would call Chumley's Speakeasy and tell the bartender to "86" the customers, meaning they should leave through the back door leading to 86 Bedford Street to avoid a raid.

Interesting. I always assumed that it came from "86 proof," which most alcoholic beverages are. I don't want the Secret Service to come to my house, so I'll just say F..k Donny Two Dolls.
