Unspecified "conservatives" are hanging around the watering hole down the street from one of the unspecified "news" rumor mills, telling each other monumental fish stories and the one about the stereotype and the caricature meeting in the bar.
One (called Z for purposes of story) slaps forehead and says: "I've got it! The other candidate is just as sleazy as our candidate, but no one seems to be able to prove anything! We need to distribute fake evidence to all the media! That'll work!"
A second one, Y, says: "How about that the other candidate will confiscate your guns?"
X set down a stein of beer and said: "No, that's been tried. Can we say that the other candidate advocates taxing bullets out of existence?"
Y: "That's outrageous! How dare--"
Z: "No, no. Something that can pass as proof, at least until the election is over. Forged passports or something! Fake evidence!"
A lightbulb flashes above X, who leaps up and runs from the bar. This leaves Z and Y to stick X with the bar bill because personal responsibility. As they shrug into their coats, X returns with a box. "Here!"
Y and Z: "What?"
X: "What you want! Made in a non-union sweatshop in North Korea! Not bulletproof! Only sold on the Internet!"
Y and Z: "What???"
X: "Fake Kevlar vest!"
