Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sought to unify Democrats earlier today, in their first public appearance together since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination.
Below is a photo of the two, taken on board Obama's campaign plane shortly before the rally.

You know what to do. Insert the caption!
'I'm sorry, young man," says Hillary. "I wasn't listening. Repeat that. Wait ... have we met?"
Obama - "Hey, your eyes match my tie1!"
"You know, I don't feel well, either. Did you have the fish?"
But in all seriousness, it looks like Clinton's busy trying to explain why her notoriously prolix husband was so sparing with words when he endorsed Obama.
If I have to hear one thing this Park Ridge yuppie has to say about her "beloved Yankees," I'm calling the flight attendant to change seats.
Obama: "So, what do you think?"
(long pause)
Hil: "I was thinking about that too."
Clinton, drones on about some issue while Obama (thinks to himself) "Go ahead, play nice now...I'm STILL not going to pick you as Veep."
