Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 When I read the rabbit post, I immediately thought about that rabbit in Holy Grail! That rabbit just kind of flew through the air and attacked. I wonder if Joe's rabbit flew at him? Sue > >Joe, you ought to write a novel or movie script about this.

It was the same sort of thing as when you insist on touching a cat where it doesn't want you to and it suddenly transform into teeth and claws. There is no in-between time when it is changing from the from sitting still state to the attacking state, it is just instant. My cat won't tell me how she does it. Joe B.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2000 Report Share Posted January 6, 2000 Rabbits can be dangerous. Remember the bunny that attacked President Jimmy while he was fishing? I vaguely recall that some Secret Service guy threw himself between the President and the Killer Rabbit, upsetting the boat they were in and inspiring a great deal of topical humor. There was even a folk song about the incident. I only heard it once on the radio. Started out something like " I don't WANT a bunny-wunny in my wittle wow boat, In my wittle wow boat in the pond, 'Cause the bunny might be CWAZY -- it might BITE me on the foot! In my wittle wow boat in the pond... " -- wally Attack of the Junky Bunny! >Joe, you ought to write a novel or movie script about this.
