Glad to see Jon got his Ambassador Medal back. Too funny!
Very nice Travis.
Now I want my sash and shoes back too.
Same basket, same location I presume?
Of course, sir.
What a guy to come around and comment on all our posts! Your comics crack me up and this one was no different! I’m glad he got to see it!!!
