“Under our administration,” suggests the first,
“Convicted murderers

“And only Algerian hockey!”
says the second.
“And we’ll remove the Sunshine Girl page from their newspaper!”
says the third.
“Oh, and Friday will be Tofu-and-Cilantro Day!”
declares the fourth.
“What if they don’t eat it?”
asks the fifth.
“Then no Timbits!”
replies the sixth.
“I think we’ve nailed it!”
says the seventh.
