  125. BR: My Wikipedia entry says I’m singlehandedly destroying the State of Illinois. Would either of you two know anything about that?

    KID IN FRONT: Umm, no?

  126. BR: Hey, I AM the governor of Illinois! A little respect here.

    KID IN FRONT: You sound just like my Dad when he’s yelling about that Rauner guy.

  130. kids - you’re more embarrassing to be around than our parents.

    kids - When this gets posted as a CapFax caption contest, we are going to have to transfer to a different school because we won’t be able to show our faces here ever again. This is so embarrassing.

    kids - Who are you again?

    Kids - Call security, there is an unescorted stranger in the building.

We ought to be able to sell millions of these games to your classmates who will have nothing better to do than sit on the couch and play video games all day long once I get done closin’ down all the state universities!
