Buttering him up

A peanut sat on the railroad track / His heart was all a-flutter / Around the bend came Number 9 / Toot-toot! Peanut butter.

so i can’t stay for happy hour. oh nuts!

I always pictured Mr Wingnut to be a bit smaller

He’ll make him feel better. Peanuts in bars are complimentary.

Mr. Peanut should scoot down… wingnuts seem to be contagious!

He only wears his tin foil hat at home

Who? The Chex Mix folks?

I thought they already did come for Mr. Peanut. Didn’t Planters kill him off a couple of years ago?
