Congressman Hall's Respectacles

RHALL.jpg

Dinosaur Congressman Ralph Hall learned about "respectacles" from a group of 6 year olds recently. The congressman visited the Primary School in Pittsburg, Texas, ostensibly because he mistook the school cafeteria for the local Luby's.

While there, he was taught about "respectacles". Apparently these "respectacles" are a kind of apparatus for the eyes, not some sort of respect demanding codpiece that one would assume. At any rate, "with intense concentration, the U.S. representative, the self-proclaimed 'oldest man in Congress,' was able to twist a few pipe cleaners into what looked like a frame for a pair of glasses."

No word yet on whether he pulled down the pants and switched any of the local children.
