Me too, me too, he cried excitedly! I had automatically assumed the post was deliberate, and chuckled at it, then waited in shamed silence when appraised of my error. I have a malformed public duty gland, and a deficiency in moral fibre, and am therefore excused from being first ot admit to gaffes.
(apologies, and thanks, to D.A.)

Helen asks: "Is there to be only one chief?"

As they say on the television program Highlander: "There can be only one."
