Late Show host David Letterman leaned back in his chair and looked over at the leader of the CBS Orchestra, Paul Shaffer.

"Boy, this has been one crazy election cycle, hasn't it Paul?" Dave asked.

"I know, especially with all those close races in the news. Alaska, Georgia, Minnesota," Paul replied.

"You forgot one, Paul…" Dave told the band leader.

"I did?" Paul asked.

"Yeah, one of the House of Representatives seats was up for grabs in Colorado," Dave answered.

"Oh man, how could I have forgotten about that?!" Paul exclaimed.

"Well, it doesn't really matter anymore. After the recount, the mayor of Upperton, Colorado won against his opponent, Jack Hench." Dave said.

"Oh, well, congrats to him. I'm sure he'll make a fine rep.," Paul said.

"Oh, no doubts about it there, but, our writer, who had a source in the Hench campaign got some very good leaked information." Dave responded.

"Oh, he did?" Paul asked.

"Indeed he did," Dave answered and then pulled a blue card off his desk and held it high in the air. "Ladies and Gentlemen, here in my right hand is tonight's top ten list."

On the audience screen, the numbers ten through one where shown either exiting or going into pull curtain voting booths.

"From the home office in Owasso, Oklahoma, top ten Jack Hench excuses." Dave read.

"This must have been what our writer's source must have sent him!" Paul said in an excited manner.

"Must be. Here we go. Top ten Jack Hench excuses. Number ten: Fell for the old I'll vote for you if you vote for me trick."

"Number nine: After realizing that I might have to work with Sarah Palin, I decided I didn't want it any more."

"Number eight: Uh…stomach flu?"

"Number seven: Didn't want to leave HenchCo. in the hands of my sniveling assistant."

"Number six: Publicity stunt? Yeah, sure, lets go with that one, folks."

"Number five: I shouldn't have yelled like an idiot at that rally."

"Number four: It's all just a giant popularity contest, anyways."

"Number three: Debates? There were debates?"

"Number two: The Dr. Drakken endorsement didn't really help."

"And the number one Jack Hench excuse: They really frown upon having Henchmen as aides."

"There you have it folks, We'll be right back with Michael Dorn!" Dave said as they cut away to a commercial.
