Well, Two. There is that bit about what Rudolph the radioactive red-nosed sheep (did I really just say that? ) scratched in the dust on the floor of the stable.

look, all we gotta do is go home by a different route. I assume we took the direct route in the first place, so this time we need to be a little more creative.
How's Greece this time of year?

Different route, different route, they said. I dunno... my tachometer has burned up. My contract only went as far as Paris. You're on your own from here, I need to recover...

(While we were speaking, a hole opened up under Wise Guy, sucking him straight down. moments pass. A rumble and a noise resembling "Spat" is heard, and wise Guy shoots up out of sand upright, relatively near to where he was before.
In other words, I got booted offline .)
