#9 Bobby and Thing: in Chicago nobody gets hired whom nobody sent. Abner Mikva found that out a long time ago (you can Google him and the story).

It's who you know. A conviction doesn't disqualify you for a job in Chicago if you know the right people. This character evidently did.

#12 He wuz more famous than I thought, but you is apparently referring to this story, apparently outta the mouth of da man hisself:

The name of the Ward Committeeman was painted on the front window. I walked in and I said "I'd like to volunteer to work for [Adlai] Stevenson and [Paul] Douglas."

This quintessential Chicago ward committeeman took the cigar out of his mouth and glared at me and said, "Who sent you?" I said, "Nobody sent me." He put the cigar back in his mouth and he said, "We don't want nobody that nobody sent."

#13 Thanks for that Bobby. Made me smile a bit and yeah... I could'a been a contenda, but I was a walk-on.
