When former Vice President Hubert Humphrey was just starting in politics, the accepted way of meeting prospective voters and contributors was to organize afternoon teas and serve light refreshments. The idea had been used for a long time and it wasn't as effective as it had been.

Hubert, always the innovator, kept trying new methods. He had a good friend in the actor Alan Alda, who in his spare time managed a number of different entertainment groups. One of the groups was a singing quartet, The Kingsmen.

Hubert employed this singing group, as well as a second Alda group, several beautiful and amorous ladies from Norway, to spice up his parties.

But it didn't work.

The newspapers the next day headlined, "Alda's cling Norses and Alda's Kingsmen couldn't put Humphrey's dumb teas back to gather again."
