* Center Square

State Rep. Andrew Chesney, R-Freeport, has filed legislation to counter Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s recent order that requires masks in private and public schools, regardless of vaccination status.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think somebody over there may have been trying to have a little fun at Rep. Chesney’s expense. Check out his exposed nose in the accompanying pic

Whether intentional on their part or not, we can have our own fun. Do try to keep it clean, however. Thanks.

    Rep. Chesney files a bill to make mask wearing in schools optional so that kindergarteners don’t show him up anymore by wearing them properly.

    So the guy takes the picture and I’m not ready and it’s the worst picture ever and I beg the guy not to make me live with this photo on my ID for the next four years. I wish there was a way to get a do-over.

    So there I was trying to assemble the new swing set and the picture instructions said to put tab A into slot B …


  22. - Huh? - Tuesday, Sep 7, 21 @ 12:55 pm:

    So there I was on the side of the road, trying to figure out how to use the jack to change a flat tire. The jack wouldn’t fit into the hole to lift the car.

    === I beg the guy not to make me live with this photo on my ID for the next four years ===

    Covid may just grant this guy’s wish, if he keeps on wearing his mask like that.


  24. - Huh? - Tuesday, Sep 7, 21 @ 12:56 pm:

    How do these fingers line up with those fingers?


  25. - Huh? - Tuesday, Sep 7, 21 @ 12:58 pm:

    You’re saying the fingers o my right hand form the letter “C”. But my fingers on my left hand form the letter “C”. We both can’t be right.
