We need to laugh more about parking tickets and colonoscopies
KAMLOOPS — “Jack Knox is a friend of mine,” I told the mayor of one of the infinite number of municipalities that make up Greater Victoria.
I say this every time I run into someone from Victoria, and I have yet to meet anyone from there who doesn’t instantly know who I’m talking about.
In this case, I happened to end up at the same dinner table as this mayor at a function in Vancouver recently. I explained that while Jack is a Victoria institution now, he grew up in the ‘Loops and once worked with me at the Kamloops Daily News.
“Oh, yeah?” the mayor said. “Heh, heh, yeah, ol’ Jack gives us a pretty rough ride sometimes.”
