Biting the Hand
Gus, a PETA advocate, thought if he just fed the gator, it would see he was on the side of all animals, including gators. The gator’s response was more like that of a divorce lawyer, a politician, or a bad tempered pit bull.
Career Paths
Westley was beginning to wonder if his career path as a dental hygienist had been the best choice . . .

Billie, Tom and Manfred had practiced long and hard for the Olympic bobsled team, but just couldn’t find a fourth player.

The feeling was that based on Newtonian physics, their mass, once in motion, could only help. Without a team of four though, their application was rejected. Maybe one of the swimming events? Manfred promised to get on eBay right away and buy their Speedos.
