The Revised Pledge

I pledge full compliance
  to the new creed
of the Corona-virus
  States of America

and to the Republic
whose people it's slain
Our motto, be it so plain

Keep your distance when shopping
  ~ And stay in your lane!

Brilliant, you are such a card, Gershon, I like to avoid folks anyway even without this darn virus thing, now I am having to run even faster to prevent them catching up with me just to let me know they have now caught up with this idea - ha ha ha . . .

Very clever, very playuful insight Gershon! Six feet from you in line! Who is that masked man?

Six feet from me in line, six feet from you in line --- we've got 12 shoes already...

Indeed. Well said in a playful way. With all the space between people, it’s much easier to butt in line. The worse part is no one will recognize who they are. ;0)

I wear a mask on my butt now too, just so no one can recognize me from either end. ~ Mr. Buttinsky

I have been in my house for five weeks straight until yesterday; and then I was 12 feet apart from my daughter; this is serious stuff. Two of my friends were complaining about the grocery. One said she was yelling "stay six feet away!" The other told me some nut was yelling "stay six feet away!' I had to laugh.

Ha, ha! Thanks for the hilarious anecdote, Caren! Hey! You're only 5.8 feet away, you sinner. ~ What?! Can't hear you...
