Last Halloween, former Rob Ford staffer Brian Johnston tweeted this pic of the mayor’s entire team, who had a good-natured go at one colleague’s barbershop-quartet-inspired attire by all showing up to work in red ties and suspenders. That was a very different time at city hall. Since the crack scandal broke a little more than two weeks ago, Ford’s staff has rapidly dwindled. Today, seven of the 16 people pictured have either resigned or been fired, including former chief of staff Mark Towhey (fired on May 23), press secretary George Christopoulos (quit on May 27) and deputy press secretary Isaac Ransom (quit on May 27).

Send the funniest photos you can find on Rob Ford, crack and the Rob Ford crack scandal to online@torontolife.com or upload them on Twitter using #robfordphotololz. We’ll repost our favourite image every day.
