Plutonium Sandwich Boards

The sandwich board hummed,
glowed in the dark and
made Coyote uncomfortable.
But the pay was so good
he didn't mind wearing it.
On the sandwich board
was an ad: WANTED--
EMPLOYEES INTERESTED IN
WEARING UNCOMFORTABLE
SANDWICH BOARDS FOR HIGH
PAY. DIRECT ENQUIRIES
TO FOX. "That's strange,"
thought Crow as he read
the sandwich board.
"I thought Fox just got
a huge grant to test
the effects of plutonium.
You might know he'd waste
the money on sandwich boards."

  
Hippopotamic Whoopee Cushion Beachings

Thor Hyerdahl and Coyote
decided it was time for
adventure on the high seas,
so they lashed 800 
whoopee cushions to a
hippopotamus and retraced
the route of the Cowabonga
warriors across the Caribbean.
But on the Jamaica coast
their luck ran out when two
crazed whales trying to
beach themselves crushed
the furiously paddling 
hippopotamus. Biologists
coming upon this carnage
wondered again what could be
behind these mysterious beachings.

Bowling Ball Panties

Coyote slipped a pair
of panties over a bowling
ball. "Do you want to go
out for a Coke?" said
Coyote to the bowling ball.
Coyote had always considered
himself a gentleman. He
never went bowling
on the first date.

 Voyeur Boredom

Coyote looked into the
two-way mirror. All he
could see was himself.
In the little dark room
behind the mirror, Marlin
Perkins also looked at
Coyote. Coyote stood 
for a long time in front
of the mirror, making
gestures that were sometimes
obscene and sometimes
almost mystical. But
Marlin Perkins didn't
notice this because
he had gone to sleep.
