From The Night Desk - Elmer Fudd Aced-Out By Show-Me Predator of Washington, MO

Report filed by Jimmy Oldsun, Night Desk Reporter

The Hermann Board of Aldermen met tonight at the Municipal Building.  Elmer J. Fudd, well-known local wabbit and varmint ewadicator and owner of Elmer Fudd's Wabbit Stew Catering Service, was aced-out by Show-Me Predator of Washington, MO on the bid for the Hermann feral cat elimination contract.  Looks like we're gonna be givin' away more of our local tax money to an outsider firm for, of all things, pussy cat eradication. 

After the announcement at the city meeting, I immediately contacted Elmer by phone.  Elmer was skinnin' rabbits, but he stopped just long enough to answer a few of my questions:

J. Oldsun:  "Elmer, have you heard that you lost the contract for feral cat elimination?"

E. Fudd:  "I ain't a bit suwpwised, Jimmy!  Dose boys ovew at the city office don't undewstand dat shootin' cats is a whole lot like shootin' wabbits."

J. Oldsun:  "Show-Me Predator from Washington, MO was awarded the contract."

E. Fudd:  "Dose boys fwom Washington got a thing or two to learn about dese local stway pussy cats, Jimmy!"

J. Oldsun:  "Oh!  Is that right, Elmer.  Do you think you know more than they do about stray pussy cats?"

E. Fudd:  "Yep, Jimmy!  In addition to dose wascally wabbits, I've been a huntin' stway pussy cats all my life!"

J. Oldsun:  "Well thanks for the exclusive interview, Elmer!  I'll let you get back to skinnin' your rabbits now!  Good night!"

  1. Glad Elmer didn't get the contract! He'd be huntin' those pussy cats 24/7 and nobody would be able to get any sleep here in Hermann!

  2. Does "Show-Me Predator" have all the proper state and federal licenses necessary to exterminate pussy cats?

    My brother Clem just asked the question I was gonna ask. Are we sure that "Show-Me Predator" is properly licensed, bonded and/or liability insured and that they carry workers compensation insurance? What if somethin' goes wrong? Wrong cat killed? Injury or death sustained by a Show-Me Predator worker? I think Elmer got screwed on this deal!

  4. Jimmy,

    Poor Elmer got the shaft on this deal! Hell, ol' Elmer could have those pussy cats eradicated in just two or three weeks. And he could use the cat meat in his famous wabbit stew when the wabbits get scarce in this cold weather.
