Before the annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents Association in Washington 14 March 1995, US President Bill Clinton (R) poses with House Speaker Newt Gingrich as President Clinton shows Gingrich a plastic utensil known as a "spork." In his remarks, Clinton spoofed himself on ways for the US government to save money, saying, "No more false choices between right utensil and left utensil. This is not an ideological choice. This is a big, new idea-the spork." (COLOR KEY: Yellow pattern in Gingrich's tie.) AFP PHOTO (Photo credit should read PAUL J. RICHARDS/AFP/Getty Images) There's just something magical about this.
