It's all relative

A couple of weeks ago, Chuck and Jacquie were golfing at Lookout Mountain in Phoenix AZ.  They met a guy at the canteen who remarked on the Meagher name on Chuck's golf cart.

"I'm reading a book about a guy with that same name," he says.

"That would be The Immortal Irishman," says Chuck.  "Thomas Francis Meagher is my great-great-great-great uncle!"

Two days later, on another golf course in Phoenix, they meet a guy from Butte MT.  Chuck says, "I have a relative who used to be Governor of Montana."

"That must be Thomas Francis Meagher," the guy says.  "My cousin, Paul Wylie, wrote a book about him called The Irish General."

And Chuck bought Tom the book for his birthday!

They even dress alike.
