I cannot imagine who told you that story with drunk Irish cops, and the cabdriver actually being the man who become Mayor Daley...I did tell this story once on FR, a few years back, but it never included the big Irish drunk cops and the mayor driving the cab...that part never happened...
I guess you are right...someone took my story, ,and embellished it...stories do grow in the telling...
But it did happen, ,just the way I told it...
I should go into my garage and drag out the tons of photo albums I have there...I know, somewhere, in one of those albums, are the pics of us and Uncle Oscar...
Glad you enjoyed that story...
BLUSH.. Ok, ok.. so I made it up.. but, if you know Chicago as well as I do.. it really could have happened.. :)))
