Default Wylie Coyote

I got an email the other day that asked this question.


I am just curious.




If Wylie Coyote has money to purchase all that Acme crap, Then why doesnt he just go buy Lunch?

Because it's not the kill, it's the hunt.

Way cool statue, who sells that?

Anyway to answer the question:

1. Acme does not serve lunches
2. When you are a super-genius you look for complicated ways to solve simple problems otherwise you can't demonstrate your genius.

Used to love those cartoons when I was a punk.

Btw it is Wile E. Coyote

It turns out Wile E. Coyote sued Acme.

"You see, ladies and gentleman, while the plaintiff is a natural
predator, he is not a very good one. His own skills were inadequate to
complete the task at hand, so he chose to seek the aid of various devices to
effectuate his diabolical schemes. He looked in a catalogue, saw my client's
products, and ordered them in the hope that they would assist him in killing
his prey."

Btw: I could not find the page that sells the statue.

Drat!

If anyone does find the site that sells these, please share the link.

Wile E. Coyote fits right in where I work. We often try the most complex and complicated solution for the simplest problems.
