Crazy Philadelphia Eddie takes a short respite from his Chinatown stories to reminisce about his Coney Island and 8th Avenue shops.  His grandmother used to tell him that life was a roller coaster.  Eddie's life was a bit more.  It was a roller coaster, a casino, a carnival, and an amusement park wrapped into one.  If you really listen to what Eddie is reflecting on, there are some real pearls of wisdom: respect those with an iron will, and don't swim with sharks.
