Zebra: Hey, son, how was your day? Little Zebra: Good. I know you wanted me to ease up on the video games, so I went outside and played with my blow-dart gun instead. Zebra: Blow-dart gun? Is that safe? Little Zebra: Sure... I don't aim it at anybody. I just try to shoot it over the hedge. Zebra: The hedge behind the house? Little Zebra: Yeah, why? Croc: Pull teeng out of butt, Melvin! Croc: Me no comfortable doing dat, Bob.

Chevy Chase in that movie, “Caddyschack II”, quote – “Is there any money in it for me?” – end quote. Sorry to involve the movie, like “Caddyschack II” — it was done for a laugh. AND That is all that IT is worth…

He’s asking you to pull something out, not put something in.

Does the end justify the means?

Uh-oh. Sonny has unexpectedly racheted up the Croc-Zebra War! If Melvin can get that dart out of Bob’s behind, the first thing they will do is attack Zeeba Neighba in some way….

When he mentioned the over the hedge, I was wondering if Verne’s shell was dart-proof.

I thought the butt would be under the tail.

Wow. So someone still makes the “Little Tribesman Blow Dart Gun and Sippy Straw”! Haven’t seen one of those in decades.

Dat bad break, Bob.

This is a riff on the old joke about the guy who’s bitten on the butt by a rattlesnake. His friend calls a doctor, who tells him he has to make a small incision and suck the poison out. The victim asks the friend what the doctor told him, and the friend replies “He said you gonna die”.

Luckily, that dart didn’t really to into “Over The Hedge”. That means war!

Another vicious attack on the poor defenseless Crocs by Zeeba? This should be condemned in the most severe manner possible!

Not sure what’s worse, a dart in the keester or Lio’s paper-cannon in the head? Rough day either way.
