-Chuck, you are supposed to elaborate on what you read.
-Oh.
-So elaborate.
-OK.
-Now.
-"Jane Byrne became the mayor of Chicago in one election and lost the mayorship sometime thereafter.
Now, Richard Daly is mayor; he is the son of Mayor Richard Daly, who was his father.
The first Richard Daly is known for his "mechanical invention": THE DALY MACHINE...which applies grease to 'old wheels'."
-Is someone else "tagged" now?
-Damned if I know.
...in which the comment was better than the post...
