“To live, a rat must chew...”

“So must we all, Holmes. We eat or we die.”

“I did not say _eat,_ I said _chew!_”

“Gesundheit!”

“Of course! Gesundheit Dankeschon—the ship’s Prussian captain!!! [scribble, scribble] You see, Watson, if a rat did not chew, it’s teeth would grow through it’s brain.”

“Oh! How very incisive...”

—From The Firesign Theater’s “The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra”

The Giant Rat of Sumatra was alluded to in The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire, but Arthur Conan-Doyle never actually wrote that story.
