I live in a very small village, population maybe 150 or so. One of my neighbors is a guy named Frank, I've been over to his house, I talk to him all the time about all kinds of stuff. I've known him about a year, since we moved in to this house.

Well, this morning I found it he is the MAYOR! I had no idea. All this time I was saying "hey, Frank" when I walked my dog, and I was actually waving to the mayor.

Did you ask him how come he doesn't wear the sash that says "Mayor" on it 24-7?

You're 83rd on the list. If you stay there long enough, you'll get your turn.

LOL....if you live in a large city and you are waving to someone who says that they are the MAYOR, you are usually talking to a crazy person.

One of my brothers friends ran for mayor at 19 and won. In a lot of towns, it's so ceremonial, that there's no power whatsoever. Live there long enough cronin, and I bet you can be mayor some day.

I lived in a town once where the mayor was my stepson's little league coach but I didn't know it until the end of the season.

Depending on the time of day, he might also be 'Frank the Sheriff', 'Frank the Garbage Collector' and 'Frank the Treasurer'

Maybe this place is like that old Scooby Doo cartoon where the star guest (was it Don Knotts?) was every person in the town.

Wow, this sounds so familiar as if it happened around here somewhere.

I just discovered that I'm the mayor of Sexytown. I hope st.cronin doesn't move here, because he'll take my post... so to speak.

I live in Wyoming. They've elected people the mayor only to find out they got the count wrong and that the other person won.

How hard can it be to count 70 or so votes.
