Josh's Jacket

Josh wears his jacket at the polling place on Election Day; a voter slaps an 'I Voted' sticker onto it after he casts his ballot, the adhesive marking his participation amid the prankster chaos. Later, in the Northwest Lobby, Josh carries or wears the same jacket during a comic collision with Charlie's group, where it props up standards of decorum against the informal beer violation tension.
