... Right into the arms of ......
Toughie, from the Department of Public Works.
Toughie was a bit surprised by the whole affair. Being a happily married man with 3 little kids at home, he was always extremely cautious of naked women running into his arms. Even though it happened frequently to him, he never quite got the hang of looking nonchalant when confronted by a naked lady.
Toughie gruffly pushed the lovely lass aside, concerned more with maintaining his happy marriage than flirting with this attractive being.
Muffy was affronted. After all this time in that abyss, she finally escaped ... only to be pushed away by the first man who touched her. How deflating to her fragile ego!
She stepped backwards in a daze ...
Then, plummeted back down into the hole in the pavement.
Toughie looked on in horror!
This scene was beginning to get a mite chaotic, what with a donut truck, a Public Works crew, a wire cable tied to a fire hydrant extending down into the hole ... and a talking rabbit.
So, now we have Muffy who disappeared back down into the hole, Stuffy clinging to that wire cable about 15 feet down into the hole, and Toughie standing by his Public Works truck looking forlorn about what might have been.
The rabbit got tired of waiting for action, so he "borrowed" a dozen donuts from the donut truck and began scarfing them down.
Stuffy was hanging on to the cable, wondering what to do now. He couldn't see ANYTHING below him. And, the scene above him wasn't very interesting. What to do, what to do?
Then, from deep down within the hole came a weak plea for help ...
Why, that sounds like ... no, wait a minute ... it couldn't be.
Could it? Wait ... yes ... yes, I believe it is !!! |
