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

Seemed to touch something deep down inside of me, I tell ya. Yessirree.

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?

Right - washing machine can wait

You want Palestine who can have it - provided I get a ride...

*Clicks heels together and falls over her feet*

Drat

*Waves wand over tour bus and shouts *

"The script so far has gone astray
And I've got a lot to do today
This bus is in the wrong place and time
Send us back to Palestine"

(The Tour Bus reappears in a dusty, nondescript area somewhere in the Middle East)

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 [Roll Eyes] .)
