Simplified Acquisition Procedures
edit
- ... that U.S. Vice President Al Gore smashed a glass ashtray on the Late Show with David Letterman to advocate for simplified government acquisition procedures?
Source: "Vice President Al Gore had appeared on The Late Show to decry what he said was a government specification that glass ashtrays be tested for breakage over a maple plank to ensure that no more than 35 shards of glass broke apart... He and Letterman demonstrated the process before a cheering TV audience. " [1]

Overall:
Looks good to go. Perhaps the hook can include the cost of the ashtray ($500?), but I won't hold this over something that small.
