  1. It’s nice having a government that is so well organized for distribution. Like a well oiled machine…

    Wait… Umm. How many doses? When? Where? Who can get it?

    You know… Nevermind.

    1. Thank goodness. Everything is going to be USA okay!

      I’m in the of least concern group, I’m scheduled to get my vaccination in 2023 👍

      Which is fine. I’ve heard once you get the vaccine and use the 5G network your head explodes.

      I know, never have I spent so long on so few words.
      Very happy to be done with the these forms, they made the Welsh look like child’s play.
      Thank you. I just went out there and gave 110%

    1. That’s why I’m here; testing the waters 😉
      I think this form might work better for more silly/nonsense content. That being said, I doubt I will attempt another 🤣
