Thanks for the great coyote and road runner cartoon with the warning! I know what I'll use in the first week of school!
Isn't that hilarious? I actually have the COMPLETE Looney Tunes cartoon collection on DVD (dozens of DVDs, hundreds of hours of cartoons). I love that kind of stuff, and Road Runner is one of my favorites. :-)
