International Trade Law

Last quarter I took a class called "International Trade Law." My teacher told us his name was J. Chester. He put that name on his syllabus, wrote it on the board, put it on the cover of our textbook, and even told us his "name" on the first day of class. He claimed to have punched a hole in the wall and patented it as the "Chester Hole." Basically, he never gave up on trying to convince us that his name was Chester. Don't get me wrong. He is a great teacher. I really liked his class, other than that he gave Bryan an A and gave me an A-. Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about it. This is a picture of my teacher, a.k.a. "J. Chester."
It didn't take long before my friend, Justin, figured out that our "professor" was actually singing legend, Lee Greenwood. You can see a picture of Mr. Greenwood below. Each and every day we came to class, hoping that that today would be the day that our "professor" would finally break down and sing "Proud to be an American." We even hinted that we wanted to hear it. For instance, whenever Randy answered a question in class he would end his answer with "where at least I know I'm free." So most of Randy's answers went something like this: "A foreign trade zone isn't actually foreign at all. Foreign trade zones are almost always located on American soil, where at least I know I'm free." Lee never let his facade down, however. I suppose we can't blame him. If it weren't for the paparazzi, he'd probably just admit that he's actually the ultimate patriotic songster, Lee Greenwood, just without the tight white Wranglers and stars and stripes vest.
If you're ever surfing the net and you see this, Lee "Chester" Greenwood, remember the fun times we had together in International Trade Law. Chester Hole? Genius.

who need comedians when they have a brother that will make fun of you and everyone else he meets? Is it O.K. if I email "Chester" at his university email and give him a link, since he already gave you an A?

I posted, but I think I am going to take it off. It is a little too risque. I might also get sued for elder abuse.

I don't think he's it. His eyebrows are different.

I laughed out loud at the "at least I know I'm free" part. Oh, my. Hilarious.
