Or, in the case of Kansas Senator Robert Dole, en route to a United Nations food conference in Rome, to the village of Castel D'Aiano near Bologna, where he hoisted one or two with some townsmen.

Spotting a stack of bologna sandwiches, he grabs one, tries to feed it to a nearby coleus and expresses his fond hope that the food will help the plant "grow up strong and have hairy pistils like its father." Next he picks up a small statue and, holding it like a microphone, intones, "Allo, allo, zis eez Jacques Cousteau for Union Oil."
