"I don't know if they eat Marzipan on Mars." said the cat. "Ask the dog." Dad: "I don't know if they eat marzipan on Mars. Ask the poison dart frog." Dad: "I don't know if they eat marzipan on Mars. Ask the slow loris." "I don't know. Ask the tapir." "Ask the nematode." "Ask the wombat." Dad: ALICE! I can't finish this book! It's just too silly! Alice: He never finishes it. And i'll never know if they eat marzipan on Mars. Petey: Don't ask me.
