A quotation from A. A. Milne

   Piglet still felt that to be underneath a Very Good Dropper would be a Mistake, and he was just going to hurry back for something which he had forgotten when the Jagular called out to them. “Help! Help!” it called.
   “That’s what Jagular’s always do”, said Pooh, much interested. “They call ‘Help! Help!’ and then when you look up, they’ll drop on you.”

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
House at Pooh Corner, ch. 4 “Tiggers Don’t Climb Trees” (1928)

[ID] Kevin and Kell for 4 August 2025: Frame 1: "Meanwhile, in the Arctic" a fox at the edge of a boreal forest hears something interesting. The fox says "!". Frame 2: The fox, at the peak of his attack jump over the noise in the snow, smiling at the thought of a tasty lunch. Frame 3: The fox inexplicably disappears *below* the snow. Frame 4: The fox thinks, "It's a trap!" He's landed on his tuchus in a room with a hole in its ceiling - the other end of the trap - with a surprised look on his face. What appears to be an anthropomorphic polar bear, in a blue business casual shirt and pants, points to an official-looking document and says, "Are you aware your vehicle's warranty has expired?"
