Unless, of course, the person under the horse has both legs in the air.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

The story I heard on this is Mr. Blanc would actually chew on a carrot in the studio to get the 'Bugs is chewing on a carrot' sound effect. He would then spit it out so he could deliver his lines. Someone witnessing this must have taken it to mean he was allergic.

Very interesting!
Much like the way people in food commercials spit out the bites they are filmed taking, and the way women in porn...um, never mind.

Yes Scotz, we just chose not to, as there are tender ears.
