In 1988, Michael Dukakis was poised to lose the presidential election in an ass-whumping of epic proportions. He became convinced that his only hope of closing the gap was to simultaneously:
- demonstrate his commitment to military spending
- hunt and kill furloughed Massachusetts prisoners for sport
When asked about whether his primary motivation for joining Dukakis was the Governor's political track record or his support for economic reform, Mojo replied, "He gots him a tank." The aforementioned tank had been retrofitted with a Pedestrian Electro-Bastard Death Ray, hydraulic suspension, and a Funny Car Turbo Nitrous booster system.
What began as a prime photo opportunity degenerated into carnage and mayhem when Dukakis, fed up with Mojo calling him a "swarthy little Unibrow Muppet" and prodding him to "Punch it! Punch it!", elected to punch it. Mojo's hand grenade flew loose and decimated a CNN lighting crew, while unlucky members of the fourth estate became grease spots under the tank's massive treads.
Rather than call the whole day a wash, Mojo and Dukakis mowed a path of destruction to a nearby park where, lacking any released prisoners to hunt, they unleashed their massive arsenal on a troupe of amateur mimes who, as it turns out, really can make noise when it counts.
