Most of the US Senators quoted in this recent Politico piece were more than happy to sign their name to a desk in the Senate chamber, but not Susan Collins.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she thought it was presumptuous for a two-term senator such as herself to sign the three different desks she’s occupied since arriving in the Senate.

"It seems a pity to be carving my name in one of those fine old desks," she said.
