I owe this juicy oldie to Gregory LeVasseur.

Once upon a time there was a very naughty little rabbit who liked to tie squirrel’s tails in knots. The squirrels were, naturally, very upset by this and appealed to the Spirit of the Woods. She appeared before the little rabbit and said “You are a very bad little rabbit and if you tie just one more squirrel’s tail I will change you into a goon!”

The rabbit promised he would be good, for he surely did not want to be a goon but, before long, he yielded to temptation and tied another squirrel’s tail into a knot.

The Spirit re-appeared instantly and with a puff of smoke – she changed the little rabbit into a goon.

The moral of the story, of course, is “Hare today…”
