D'oh!

I think you are correct, but I thought it was Mozart who had the clap, not 
Beethoven (didn't study that particular aspect in music-lessons).  I 
wouldn't have me on your quiz-team if I were you...

Al Capone ran prostitutes, so I suppose what he had goes hand-in-glove (as 
it were) with the business.  Anyway, he may have been a wee bit deaf...!
