What the Sam Hill is with these coots?

You heard what these dash Wright Brothers are trying to do? They’re trying to FLY!!

Now I’ve seen the elephant!

Sin to Moses!

If God’d wanted us to fly He’d of given us wings. And the way they’re so cocky about it - they think they’re just a huckleberry above a persimmon! Yet really they’re poor as Job’s turkey…

Well, you know me, I’m gonna wake snakes about this gum! Enough of this flying piffle already!
