Burned once by a statewide official, a cautious Springfield Mayor Tim Davlin leans away as Senate President Emil Jones slips some Mentos into his Diet Coke bottle.
Davlin: Mr. President, you look good as well. Have you been losing weight? Pretty soon, you will be as thin as the Speaker.
Emil: You know Tim, that is one of the biggest myths at the Capitol! The speaker is not really that thin - he is just always standing next to Steve Brown. Brown is more slimming than the striped shirt you are wearing.
Davlin: I have to get myself a new press secretary.

Actually, I thought it was a pretty nice tee-shirt. I mean, usually you get the candidate’s name blazed across the whole thing. This was more of a ‘unity’ message.
I can’t help but notice the somewhat vacant stares. So, with apologies to the movie “Friday” and edited for this site:
