Question of the day

Posted in:

* A Facebook photo taken during Gov. Pat Quinn’s recent trade mission to Mexico

* The Question: Caption?

I am fully aware how difficult it will be to keep it clean, but you must keep it clean. And write your posts in English as well. I don’t wanna be using Google Translate all darned day to make sure you’re following directions.

Again, keep it clean.
