MOTION TO HIGH FIVE APPROVED BY A VOTE OF SIX TO TWO
MOTION TO HIGH FIVE APPROVED BY A VOTE OF SIX TO TWO
NEW MOTION INTRODUCED "THOSE TWO GUYS ARE DICKS"
WHEREAS
In this it is meant that they are not physically male sexual organs in a literal sense as outlined in Section 144.b.16.a, but as they are in a figurative sense, for purposes of this proposition.
it's an official recognition from the state government
it doesn't mean we have to call them Sir Jerry or Lord Mike or anything
it's just some important dudes putting into the state's official record that these guys were pretty tops.
it's like people aren't bothering to actually read it
they glance at all the words and a little drool leaks out of their gaping mouth, so they ask someone else, "wots it mean?"
