And if a coyote had pulled that same stunt would he have gotten all the fanfare and special treatment? Poor ole Wile E would probably been shot at best or sent off to some kind of unwanted wildlife disposal farm. Some days you’re the dog, some days you’re the hydrant. Not poor ole Wile E, that boy is always the hydrant. It just ain’t right.

There’s a long-standing internet debate over whether the Road Runner says “Beep beep” or “Meep meep”. For the record, I’m on Team “Meep meep”.

The wikipedia page for “Beep,beep(sound)” is informative.
