"Listen, to proof that the people in the White House are a bunch of loafers we are gonna need more than this!"
...And don't even get me started on what's happened to size of bagels lately. I mean in my day you could get one the size of your head for dime, but today you'll be lucky to find one half that size for less then two dollars. ....Unless of course you want the creme cheese too... Ha! That they tell me will be extra now. Well let me tell you when I was a kid creme cheese was a given, and it was dispensed from a large crock delivered fresh by the dairy that same morning. ...Yep....Yep....We had no need for those ridiculous little packets of creme cheese that you can barely open unless you use your teeth.....And what are those anyway.

"OK, I brought this loaf of bread. I was wondering if I could get my esteemed colleague and Vice Chair, to make me a sandwich. Bake me a pie if you could too, sweetie."
