B.U.G.S.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Duh <\/span>B<\/b>wainless <\/span>U<\/b>nion of <\/span>G<\/b>ung-ho <\/span>S<\/b>imp-wetons meetin’ is now cawwed to owdew<\/span>,\u201d union president, Elmer Fudd, shouted.  \u201c<\/span>Aw gwest speaker fow this evenin’ is Mistaw Magoo,  head of ouw insuwance company.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes, yes,\u201d replied Mr. Magoo. \u201cYou really should put on more weight Fudd, You\u2019re as thin as a pole. I thought you said there would be more people here. The place is empty.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

An attendant from the side of the stage moved Magoo from in front of an empty mic stand and turned him around so that he wasn\u2019t facing the empty stage. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHeh, Heh, Heh. Thought you could fool me with the hidden audience trick,\u201d Magoo called out. <\/span><\/p>\n

Facing a set of music stands in the pit now, Magoo calls out, \u201cSo what does everyone here want to know about insurance? Don\u2019t just stand there, speak up!” <\/span><\/p>\n

From the audience, Wil E. Coyote calls out. \u201cI want to know how much your company makes from the Acme Anvil company.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd confound it, What\u2019s that crazy rabbit\u2019s deal,\u201d yelled Yosemite Sam.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd same goes for moose and squirrel,\u201d Boris Badinov said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Soon everyone was jumping up and down and screaming, complaining about all the supposed accidents they had claims for. Yet, they all agreed that the birds, the mice, carrot-toting rabbits, the daffy ducks, the moose and the squirrel always got the best deals. <\/span><\/p>\n

They claimed they were being set up to have accidents and should be getting more from the insurance company rather than funneling all the money to the cute ones and the insurance company. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ve got to eat too, thufferin’ thuccotash!” Sylvester the cat screamed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Natasha Fatale sitting in the front with Boris Badinov, turned to him and said, “I dink zis Magoo ees a fool, dahlink.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a lovely audience,\u201d replied Mr. Magoo. \u201cI just love to listen to groups that are happy with our company. I will definitely leave now and get started on building that pool.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of leaving by the stairs in front of the stage, Mr. Magoo starts climbing the side stairs up to the rafters. In walking across the rafters, thinking he\u2019s closing the curtains behind him, he manages to untie the ropes to the massive chandeliers hanging over the complainers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below, just before impact, is heard a plaintiff \u201cThufferin\u2019 Thuccotash!” After which comes a loud crash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Magoo, having left the <\/span>B<\/b>rainless <\/span>U<\/b>nion of <\/span>G<\/b>ung-ho <\/span>S<\/b>impletons meeting, moves on to his next stop, the Do the Write Thing writing workshop, where he was told he has to speak about Riding Tromps.<\/span><\/p>\n
