The Anti-COVID Liberation Front Meets on Zoom

Somewhere over the airwaves ...

Joe: Okay, it’s 2:00, but let’s wait for the rest of the guys.

Woody: Yeah, we can’t have much of a meeting with just the three of us.

Joe: Ed, why don’t you have your video on?

Ed:  Sorry, how do I turn it on?

Joe: Look for the video icon.

Ed:  Look for the what?

Woody: The little picture of a camera.

Ed:  Oh, found it.

Joe: Ed?

Ed:  What’s wrong, still can’t see me?

Joe: No, I can see you, I’m just wondering why you’re wearing a mask – at home!  That’s the reason we’re having our meetings on Zoom now, so we don’t subject ourselves to the indignity of having to wear a mask in public.

Ed:  Well, you see, my wife has this rule that when I go to the store I have to wear my mask for an hour after I get back.

Woody: Does the CDC recommend that?

Joe: Who cares what the CDC recommends?  We’re men, right?  With constitutional rights so …

[Someone joins the meeting]

Dave: Sorry, I’m late.  I was buffering.

Ed:  Why are you bunkering?  Is there an attack?

Joe: Not bunkering, Ed, buffering.  That’s when … oh forget it, can we get on with it?

Dave: On with what?  There’s only 4 of us.  Why can’t we meet at the tavern any more?

Joe: You know darn well that after they opened up the fanatics at the Health Department allegedly traced 23 COVID infections to a Happy Hour, so now there’s so much police tape wrapped around the place we can’t even sneak through the back window any more.

Dave: Oh, right.  So what have I missed?

Woody: [Excitedly] The CDC says we should wear masks at home now.

Joe: Will you stop with the CDC!  We need to start talking about how we’re going to take those people down.  Those are all those radical scientists who look down on us because they have white coats on.  Now, I say we try to make contact with …

Ed:  Joe?

Joe: [Impatiently] What now, Ed?

Ed:  I’m sorry, but my wife needs the computer to Skype with her sister, so I have to go.

Joe: You mean you only have one computer?  Don’t you have a smart phone?  Wait, don’t answer that. [Ed signs off]

Dave: Joe?

Joe: What Dave?

Dave: Where is everyone else?  Are you sure they got the invitation?

Joe: What?  Maybe you think you can do a better job trying to keep this organization together, Dave?

Dave: Hey, don’t get touchy, Joe.  I just don’t see how three people can do too much about restoring our constitutional rights.

Joe:  You don’t see it, do you?  I was thinking we could set up some kind of a guard around our confederate memorials before those antifa terrorists get any ideas. 

Dave:  Do we have any confederate memorials in Michigan? 

Joe: We must, right?
