John Smith Shows His Funny Bone

So at the Oz Griebel gathering this morning at the chamber, everything was pretty much S.O.P. until former Mayor Bill Stortz asked a question.
Well, that was also standard operating procedure... since Stortz loves to ask questions. But then retired teacher John Smith piped up.
Don't ask me what his question was, though. It was something about colleges. In the middle of his question, Stortz says it "took me 17 years to get through college."
"You're done?" says Smith.
