The following is what I think happened when they were making this county flag (enjoy):

COUNTY EXECUTIVE: All the other Texas counties are getting flags, why shouldn’t we?!

BAD FLAG DESIGNER: I can do that, sir! I will make a flag that shall proudly fly over the Bastrop County courthouse!

COUNTY EXECUTIVE: Excellent! This flag’ll beat the cow crud out of the other county flags! Have it by tomorrow morning.

BAD FLAG DESIGNER: Alright! (exits room)

VICE COUNTY EXECUTIVE: Ooh, I don’t know ’bout that… Says here in his resumé that he was fired from eight–no–nine flag designing count offices for making “Flags of not high quality”!

COUNTY EXECUTIVE: Well, I can see that, but maybe this will be his lucky try! They say the tenth try’s the charm, right?

VICE COUNTY EXECUTIVE: Uh…

THE NEXT MORNING…

BAD FLAG DESIGNER (panting and running in very fast): Sorry, *pant* boss, *pant*, I didn’t *pant* get much time in, *pant* so I drew this up on a whiteboard! *pant*

(The County Executive examines the mockup of Bastrop’s county flag)

COUNTY EXECUTIVE: I… LOVE THIS! We shall use this mockup as our flag right away! Milo, get the flag printing machine!

BAD FLAG DESIGNER: What, exactly that mockup?
