Hi, Ed., we are the old cronies who called the other night about you and the mayor, and asked if his pants are up or down when you kiss his butt. We just want to tell you, we respect and admire you 100 percent. We never thought we’d see it in the paper. We’re behind you 100 percent.

Smoochers

Now who’s kissing whose butt? Get your nose out of there; it tickles.— Ed. Note
