    Folding is for respectfully disposing of the flag, this one should be crumpled up on the ground and stomped on a bit first before just getting tossed in.

      I was about to say, aren’t the Boy Scouts (America Scouts? What are they called now?) going to be doing this all Memorial Day weekend with old US flags? From what I remember they actually dig the grommets out of the ash and melt them down to be used in new flag grommets.

        They changed the name to Scouts America (in the states at least) but I can’t think of the right modifier for Scout either. I bet they thought that through.

    Two coworkers were having a discussion in a crowded cafeteria. One tells the other that he worries that Obama is going to ban the Confederate flag. The other replies: That’s terrible! if I can’t buy rebel flags, I’m going to have to switch back to toilet paper.

    Got a big laugh, but some people (you know the ones) sat in the quiet discomfort of realizing they’re the minority.

    Better to spray a little wd40 at the end. Then, put a flame on corner. Then hoist it flaming in all its bullshit
