        That’s impractical, because for a pinky promise, you need to actually lock pinkies. We need a surrogate, like maybe the Commander in Chief?

          I think we should ask Chuck Schumer. He’s really good at getting things done.

            Perfect, and since he’s in his 70s, he has all of that experience keeping promises to draw on.

          Exactly! Twice the value for my tax dollar!

          Not that I’ve ever paid taxes, but, you know, if my accounting department all suddenly died in mid march some year, and i wasnt operated out of a PO box in a tax shelter, i bet i mightve had to.
