  46. John - Can you help out with these two guys? I’ve been working with them since they were elected. I’ve got to let them take the training wheels off. Will you let them sponsor a bill for something like, I don’t know, a State symbol? Or something like a resolution honoring someone. It’ll be safe, and non-political. I’ll proofread it before they submit it.

  49. John - It was his first time at the weekly poker game. He didn’t know that the red chips were worth two bits. He thought it was a penny ante game. He didn’t know that he had to have the money to back his hand. He’ll pay off the marker on pay day with the usual vig.

    Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Feb 20, 19 @ 11:42 am

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Feb 20, 19 @ 11:43 am

  51. Bill, I’m sorry but the Democrat caucus voted on this. One of these guys has to play the role of Charley’s Aunt in this year’s talent show.

    Personally, I think it should be Jason, but I’ll leave the decision to you.

  59. John I promise these guys won’t play mumbly peg again in their offices. They will pay to replace the carpet they damaged. I’ve taken away all of the sharp instruments in their offices and put them in the hands of their secretaries. I’ll keep taking these guys out to the woodshed until they learn how to play with nice things.
