I think there is a shot that the Senate will say "Uh.... nope."

The Hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania are said to be home to a sad mythical creature known as the Squonk. Pig-like with a saggy skin covered in warts and blemishes, the Squonk spends much of its life weeping. It is very elusive, preferring to hide out of sight in the hemlock woods; however, the legend says that if you do happen to catch a Squonk, it won’t be long before you find yourself with a puddle of tears in place of the beast.

My introduction to the concept of a squonk was from, of all things, a British band. The reference to tears comes at 4:39.
