The Inside Scoop
Old flashbacks die hard
During the recent Greensboro-Guilford County elected official dinner at the swanky O.Henry, the gathered did their usual self-introductions.
They even had the reporters 'fess up. 'Scoop reluctantly agreed, even though it totally blew our cover. We stopped wearing the fedora with the "Press" card years ago.
Well, toward the end of the 20-or-so politicos and county staffers' introductions, Greensboro Councilman Mike Barber made a funny.
"I'm Mike Barber, at large county commissioner," said the commissioner-turned-councilman.
To that, Mayor Yvonne Johnson jabber her thumb at the door.
"Get out," she joked.
"Sorry," Barber chuckled, "had a little flashback there."
