No, I was referring only to that specific pun, as the gag is used by
WB. IOW, the transition from, "The missionary those cannibals ate
last night seemed to disagree with them, but then they did boil him,
and he was a friar," to, "Hey, ya can't put me in dat pot, doc! I'm a
fryer!" Now, of course, Bugs is speaking, not writing, so homophones
are tough to interpret, but AFAIK he has never been a member of any
kind of clergy. Hmmm. Now _there's_ an idea.

Hey, do you know where I can get some kind of video of Pinky singing
about the Cheeses From Around The Woild? Possibly the most surreal
thing I've ever seen...
