Three mayors walk into an elevator — and became an internet punchline. The stranded officials managed to amuse themselves for about 40 minutes until they could be rescued from a stuck elevator.

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto got stuck in the Westin Hotel elevator Thursday evening along with the mayors of the Pennsylvania towns of Millvale and Leetsdale. They had been attending a meeting of the Allegheny League of Municipalities.

At first, it wasn’t clear how they’d get out. None of the mayors, and a couple others stuck along with them, could get cellphone service. One of the stranded passengers worked at the hotel and was able to summon maintenance crews and first responders using a walkie-talkie. And while the mayors couldn’t call for help, they did manage to use their phones to take a selfie.
