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

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?

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.”

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!

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.

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

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

“Who sold you this elevator pass, Governor?”
Comment by Anonymice Tuesday, Sep 25, 12 @ 4:22 pm
Oh no, I think putting “Soy Boy” on your business card above the word “Governor” is very professional!

“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.

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.

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