On Thursday, a photographer captured a picture of three senators, and there's just so much going on here that we need to talk about.
Let's break this photo down. Here we have Sasse, sitting on the railing in very dad-esque gym attire, looking like someone deleted his favorite show off the Tivo.
And here's Schumer, looking like he's double-fisting a venti latte and a joint fat enough to last until midterm elections.
After the photos went viral on Twitter, Sasse said what basically everyone else was thinking: "It looks like Sen. Schumer and I are smoking reefer outside a wedding."
holy moly - it looks like @SenSchumer and I are smoking reefer outside a wedding...
After that, the memes started rolling in.
Same
It got a pretty incredible Photoshop, complete with a rasta cap and a hacky sack.
@BenSasse @SenSchumer @BenHowe
Note the smoke pouring out of Schumer's "joint."
"I thought we were off the record," joked Sasse.

It turned into a pretty incredible caption contest.

A ton of people made the same joke about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who just last week issued a memo ordering tougher sentencing for drug offenses.

I don't think the Attorney General is going to like this. https://t.co/dMcrHzbBz9
don't let sessions see you https://t.co/PZkMvDdJGC
And people got REALLY creative imagining the possibilities.
I'm all for @BenSasse and @SenSchumer starring in the remake of Cheech & Chong
Hilarious. Both Sasse & Schumer look like they went to Ping Pong Pizza

"Well that escalated quickly," tweeted Schumer, retweeting Sasse.
