The mini-adventures of a pint-sized cowboy
with an oversized hat, bushy eyebrows,
bulbous nose, and a long droopy red mustache.
Wielding a set of six-guns, the hot-tempered little gunslinger
would say "Ya better say yer prayers, ya flea-bitten varmint! Ah'm a
gonna blow ya to smithereenies!"
Frustrated with Bugs Bunny, Sam would say "Ah hates rabbits".

Bugs Bunny: |
Eh, what's up, Doc?
|
|
Yosemite Sam: |
What's up? Why, you hornery, fur-bearing critter! This here
is one of them there train robbery hold-ups.
|
|
Bugs Bunny:
|
Yeah? Well, you must be Jesse James.
|
|
Yosemite Sam: |
Jesse James? Ha ha ha! Phooey! Why, everybody knows me. I'm
Yosemite Sam, the meanest, toughtest, rip-roaringest,
Edward-Everett-Hortonest hombre whatever packed a
six-shooter. (fires gun)
That's who I am!

Bugs Bunny: |
You don't say? Well, come 'ere, shorty, come 'ere. Don't say
I told ya, but there's a guy in the next car who says he's
the meanest, toughest, et cetera, et cetera, and he's got a
seven-shooter to prove it. How's about that?
|
|
Yosemite Sam:
|
There is? Why, I'll blast the varmit wide open! [The
"varmint" is Bugs in disguise] |
