(IE, "According to the latest reports, the political campaign of Senator Jane Doe was well on the road to her successful re-election until it encountered a speed bump last month when the expenses associated with her recent congressional fact-finding trip to Hawaii were questioned by her opponent. However, according to the Chairman of the Committee to Watch the Volcano For Safety Hazards, she provided documentation that all expenditures on the trip were legitimate expenses, and the public furore over the issue soon subsided after the Senator showed pieces of lava at a recent press conference.")

(IE, "Steve is such a speed bump, he's more trouble than he's worth at the restaurant." or in a hybrid manner "Around the restaurant the new manager is such a Steve bump.")
