Maybe KC’s Mayor Funky just likes the concept of “Take Your Daughter* To Work Day” and applies it to the significant female in his life, Mrs. Gloria Funky Big Feet*?

I mean I could see “Take Your Wife To Work” day once or maybe even twice a year.  Might be nice to have Mrs./Dr. Kansas Watch at the law office once in a while.  But I really don’t think Mrs./Dr. Kansas Watch would appreciate being my “volunteer” at work the other 363 days of the year.  She has far to much self-respect for that.  Plus, she makes a lot more money than I do, so having her velcroed to my hip wouldn’t be very lucrative even if it might be romantic in a really creepy sort of way.

I can also hear Mrs./Dr. Kansas Watch telling me after day three or so, “Kansas Watch, honey, I love you and love being with you, but don’t you think you should do your own work?  Plus, the staff is starting to shoo-shoo everytime I walk by.  Now be a big little man and let me go do my own thing, ok?”

I’m just a simple virtual Kansan trying to understand why the mayor of a major U.S. city won’t leave the house or his office without his wife.  Maybe Dr. Phil should do a show from Chez Funky and see if he can’t get to the bottom of Mayor Funky’s unusual attachment to his wife.  It’s got to be in the DSM IV-R there somewhere!

Dr. Phil, please help Kansas City and Mayor Funky “get real!”

*And now too, “and Son.”

**Damn you Tony’s Kansas City, I always have to make reference to Gloria’s feet now because of you!
