I propose that ALL members of Congress should swear on

[ashling]

a copy of Tom Sawyer - after they spit and turn around three times, no exceptions. Of course, this is just for the formal ceremony, I have no objections to letting them swear in later on a dead cat in the cemetery at midnight. Or they can use

What do you think?

This should please everybody ... 'cept maybe Aunt Sally.

Does my proposal have a chance?

2. Not a bad idea.

3. They should place their right hand on the Constitution.

4. Maybe I should have used the sarcasm thingie

It was a joke, people
