After speaking for two bills that were defeated Thursday, Del.

Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, slunk over to Coffin Corner

where some Democrats hang out and offered not to speak on any of

their issues if they'd put money in his paper bag. They eagerly

complied until the speaker of the house put a stop to such

shenanigans. Marshall then enriched the House flower fund.
