| I've wondered the same thing. I believe it was the title of a radio
show popular in my parents' youth, sometime from 1925 thru 1950ish.
Not sure though.

| It was also a popular teevee show in the '50s, starring the inimitable
William Bendix as Chester Riley. It was one of the more memorable
sitcoms, na�ve by today's standards but rather funnier than most of the
trash that's churned out these days.

| heard it as the life of O'Reilly, who may have been a rich Irishhman who
lived the high life. Heard my uncle use it in the following dialogue
once:
Why don't you sell me that horse, you will never win a race with him?
"Maybe not, but we will have an O'Reilly of a time trying."

| What was it about Chester Riley's life or lifestyle that made it so
wonderful? Can anyone remember the plot/storyline/concept etc. etc.
.. and as for Larry ... ?

Think Home Improvement. Nothing Riley did ever worked right. The
title of the series was applied ironically.
