RE: “....It’s starting to make sense now....” and your explanation...
You watched a LOT of Three Stooges espisodes and Bugs Bunny/Road Runner cartoons growing up, didn’t you?
Your imagery was perfect! Haha! I’ll bet every piece of “exercise equipment” he had said “ACME” on it, too...
:0)
Thank you. I did love III Stooges and Wiley Coyote.
Ever notice that the cartoon was about the coyote but named after the Road Runner. I don’t know about anyone else, but I always rooted for the coyote. He just wanted dinner. He just had the worst luck. I heard the show ended when ACME finally offered a respectable settlement to Wiley. He now lives comfortably off of the proceeds and royalties in the painted desert of Arizona. The Road Runner met is end on the fork of a Frenchman in Paris in about 1985. Word is the bird was tough and tasted like Chicken.
