    “His Excellency says, ‘You’re Super 8 Card looks just like mine’”

    “Your Excellency … is THIS your card?”

    “Oh exuse me, Welcome, (reading) Speaker Madigan”

    Instead of grabbing sides of a wishbone, they grab sides of a piece of taffy to see who gets the bigger side.


  6. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:18 pm:

    “Governor, His Excellency said, ‘Your money is no good here … honestly, your American Money is no good here … he thinks its funny you think its good’”

    “Senor Quinn, take this card, tell them Senor ‘johnny ola’ sent you”

    What’s the guy from This Old House doing there with Quinn?


  8. - Ken_in_Aurora - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:33 pm:

    “And if I leave this thing on the table green side up the guys in the funny outfits keep bringing me meats? As much as I want, you said?”


  9. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:34 pm:

    “‘Please give this man whatever he may need. James R. Hoffa’ …impressive, Senor Quinn.”


  10. - Palos Park Bob - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:34 pm:

    The great nation of Brasil looks forward to expanding trade of oil, soy beans, and churasco dining to Chicago in return for….ummm…what EXACTLY is it you are still making these days?


  11. - Michelle Flaherty - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:34 pm:

    Nice wine selection!


  12. - Palos Park Bob - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:35 pm:

    Sorry, Governor Quinn, we don’t do parking validations at Government House!


  13. - Rich Miller - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:36 pm:

    OK, here’s my card. See? Told ya I was governor.


  14. - Palos Park Bob - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:37 pm:

    The card says, “Smile and laugh and pretend we’re being friendly, and you won’t find a horse’s head in your bed tomorrow morning.”


  15. - Palos Park Bob - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:39 pm:

    I really don’t have the clout to agree to anything. If you want to make a deal you have to talk to Rahm Emannuel, Mike Madigan, or Karen Lewis!


  16. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:40 pm:

    “His Excellecy says, ‘When you get back to the Chicago, make sure you …renew?…renew your licence …yes?’”

    Brazilian: “No…no….take my country’s debt; it’s probably less than yours.”


  18. - Rich Miller - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 3:43 pm:

    “Here. Take this card. Just tell ‘em ‘Pat sent you.’ Trust me. It works. Best McDonald’s on the West Side.”


  19. - Irish - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:02 pm:

    No, seriously! This is a list of the people who will support me in 2014.

    Yes, all of them!

    Now explain to me how your special imperial powers work and how do you work around your legislature.


  20. - railrat - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:07 pm:

    heres the key to your wine cabinet I found it in the Governors desk !!


  21. - Spanky - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:11 pm:

    Just in case you need a good lawyer… I know I will!


  22. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:12 pm:

    “Senor Quinn, His Excellency thinks its funny … this coupon is for ‘Texas De Brazil’, not for our country, … Brazil”


  23. - Sunshine - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:20 pm:

    Ask for Zelda. She has worked with some of your president’s secret service agents.


  24. - Anonymice - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:21 pm:

    “Hmmm . . .’For a real good time, ask for Consuela . . .’ I’m sorry, Governor, but there is no one by that name here.”


  25. - Anonymice - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:22 pm:

    “Who sold you this elevator pass, Governor?”


  26. - Ron Burgundy - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:25 pm:

    Oh no, I think putting “Soy Boy” on your business card above the word “Governor” is very professional!


  27. - Third Reading - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:50 pm:

    “Oh, yes, thank you. Mmmmmmm! I’ve always been a Brazil Nut. Ha, ha! Most other people leave these and the filberts as the last nuts in the bowl, but I go right for ‘em. That is, if the cashews aren’t already gone. You grow cashews?”

    “Yes, I used to be the lieutenant governor. But now I’m the governor. I just crossed out the word ‘lieutenant’ there on my card. But there’s no need for us to be formal. Just call me - how would you say it? - ‘Governorissimo.’”

    I’m outta here.


  28. - Anonymous - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 5:00 pm:

    “So sorry, senor….there seems to be a problem with your credit card”


  29. - Anon - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 5:06 pm:

    “Greetings Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers”


  30. - Apple - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 5:33 pm:

  32. - Bumblebee Man - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 5:41 pm:

    Smithers, solte os cães!


  33. - amalia - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 5:42 pm:

    Yes, we too are amazed that your samba dance card is filled, Governor.


  34. - hisgirlfriday - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 6:07 pm:

    “Hola el presidente, soy Soy Boy.”


  35. - retired - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 6:28 pm:

    Can we refuse extradition?


  36. - Ghost of John Brown - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 7:32 pm:

    As a token of my appreciation, please accept this silver dollar. It’s the last dollar that the State of Illinois has in its treasury, but I would be honored if you took it.


  37. - Concerned Voter - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 8:58 pm:

    See, in Illinois, this is the most rope we can afford for a tug of war match.


  38. - du jour - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 9:17 pm:

    So, all I have to do is show this offer to the governor of Iowa and he will double it? Thanks Pat!


  39. - du jour - Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 9:23 pm:
