Summary: The ranger ain't gonna like this, Yogi

A while ago, Don Black told the story about the coyote and the hunters
and  the pick-um-up truck.  I was enthralled -- never had such a sharp
irony intruded upon my long and hideously boring life.

Imagine my surprise upon reading page 63 of the August  1985  National
Lampoon:
	"Hunters' Cruel Trick Backfires"
	******************************
	* A sadistic stunt with gelignite and a captive rabbit blew 
	* up in the faces of two prankster rabbiters.
	******************************
	* Two men on a spotlighting expedition reportedly tied a stick
	* of gelignite to a rabbit they had caught by hand.  The fuse 
	* was lit and the rabbit released.  
	******************************
	* Laughter evaporated as it doubled back and hopped for cover
	* under their Toyota four-wheel-drive utility.	[*BOOM*]
	***************** (Quentin P. Smith, the Adelaide Advertiser)

Now  I  truly know Mr. Black is important, if even the Advertiser sees
fit to track him and quote his words.  If ever I  tie  some  gelignite
to... to... er, anyone, I'll park in the next state.

This message does not explain why
