How could you have done an article on “Who (or what) is Chevy Chase” and not answered the question (at least to start with) by saying “You’re not”? If easy shots like this do not get taken, I might begin to lose my faith in your sense of humor, the toilet joke at the end notwithstanding. ---

Hey, **Ken** is the first author. Why pin it on me? However, according to SDSAB SOP, I will attribute the lapse to an editing error by **Ed**. (Hey, it works for Cecil.) 🙂 ---

Colibri, I’m sorry for not including Ken in the title of this thread. I guess your name just stuck in my mind better. Ed, I am honored to have had my contribution added. Thank you. ---

Thank you. I’m fine if you leave out Ken and Ed if you’re giving out compliments, but I want to make sure that all blame is distributed appropriately. 😃
