Now just a darn minute, Erik. I hate to disagree, but how dare you
intimate that "Pat the Bunny" isn't official. I've done exhaustive
research on the subject and it is the consensus of all official bunny
regulating agencies that I've contacted - including the FBA (Federal
Bunny Agency), the EBA (Environmental Bunny Agency), the FBIC (Federal
Bunny Insurance Corporation) and, of course, the Department of Bunnies
Under Government Sponsorship (BUGS) - that "Pat the Bunny" is the ONLY
official source for Bunny Patting. In the words of Deputy Undersecretary
for Bunny Affairs Peter C. Tail, "Bunny patting is a serious concern and
proper regulation of bunny patting is imperative. When bunny patting is
outlawed, only outlaws will pat bunnies."
Sorry if is seem a little rabbit..., er, rabid on the subject.
