On Thursday, we asked listeners to come up with their best "one-liners" about the record-breaking temperatures. We got some pretty funny answers around a few common themes. Below are some of our favorites. See all the responses on twitter.
The most popular theme (by a landslide) was Mayor Bloomberg's proposed ban on restaurants selling sugary sodas over 16 ounces:
@BrianLehrer #ItsSoHotThat my 20oz coke evaporated to a legal 16oz volume

@brianlehrer #ItsSoHotThat @MikeBloomberg is downing ice cold soda 32 oz at a time.

@BrianLehrer Mayor Bloomberg downed several Big Gulps, chased them with a Slurpee, then had himself hosed down with Coca Cola. #ItsSoHotThat

Stop and Frisk also seems to be on our listener's minds:
@BrianLehrer #Itssohotthat the #NYPD is stop & frisking ice cream truck drivers.

@BrianLehrer #ItsSoHotThat Stop and Frisk feels the same as Slip N Slide.

So was Mitt Romney's "dog on the roof of his car" fiasco:
@BrianLehrer#itssohotthat My dog WANTS me to drive him around in a box on top of my car!

@BrianLehrer #ItsSoHotThat even Mitt Romney won't put his dog on the roof!

And we couldn't help snickering at a "Fast and Furious" reference:
@BrianLehrer #ItsSoHotThat... the Republicans subpoenaed Eric Holder's slushee.(via @CraigyFerg 's Harvard-educated writers..)
