Rabbiting On About Smoke

(I have recently moved and joined a local Boy Scout troop. It is the first morning of a camping trip.)

Scout #1: “Hey, [My Name], do you hate little bunny rabbits?”

Me: “What?”

Scout #1: “You were talking in your sleep last night. You kept saying, ‘I hate little bunny rabbits.'”

Me: “Ohhh. Yeah, in the town I moved, from there’s a running joke that if you say, ‘I hate little bunny rabbits,’ three times, the campfire smoke won’t blow in your face.”

Scout #2: “Maybe I should try that. I’ve moved four times and it keeps following me. I hate little bunny rabbits. I hate little bunny rabbits. I hate little bunny rabbits.”

(The smoke doesn’t move.)

Scout #2: “Oh, well, you know what they say. Smoke follows beauty.”

(At that exact moment, the smoke started blowing in the opposite direction.)
