This cartoon reminds me of a story about U.S. Grant – supposedly, in the years between the Mexican War and the Civil War, he sold a hunting dog to a fellow officer, claiming it was the best birding dog he’d ever trained. When the dog turned out to be a failure at bird hunting, the officer when back to complain. Grant pointed to the hind end of the dog. “You see those two round objects between his back legs? Those are adjustable nuts. Right now he is set for Rabbit.”
