Bunny? Yes. Guy in a bunny suit? Not unless the guy lives at your house. Or, I suppose he could be in a bunny suit with an N95 mask…

The Easter Bunny an “essential worker”?

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern addressed this question head on, in a nod to young Kiwis nationwide, when she declared that, yes, the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are “essential workers.”

Word on Santa Claus is pending and will be available, if needed, in early December.

Side note: of all nations of significant size, New Zealand under Ardern has the best record for testing, identifying, isolating and containing COVID-19, and the total number of deaths in New Zealand so far is … FOUR, with the verified per capita rate of deaths the lowest of any major nation.

Is that a hazmat bunny suit?

Remember the superchicken cartoon show where the rogue Easter Bunny warns superchicken to lay off or no chocolate bunnies?

Fred says, “Superchicken, no chocolate bunnies!”

Superchicken replies, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred. "

We used to tell each other that when we gowned up for an isolation room or, like, draw blood on an HIV patient.

Funny how you remember that stuff when you’re too old to gown up anymore..

Careful, Easter Bunny! Some people haven’t been grocery shopping for a while.

I believe in the Easter Bunny. I also believe in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, the Great Pumpkin, the Grinch, boogie men , monsters under my bed and Donald Trump.

That’s what happens when you can’t tell the difference between “make believe” and “real.”

Elijah the prophet was essential

Just leave the basket on the front step, ring the doorbell, and walk away, Rabbit. Even the pizza delivery guy knows that! /s

Yes.. if he drops and runs. But pick up the basket with disposable gloves and let it sit a minimum of 5 days before “opening” it to ensure any COVID-19 virus is dead.

Keep your distance Wabbit.

Yes, the dark chocolate eggs will help lower your blood pressure.

Not until the Chocolate Manufacturers’ Association got behind it.

Yes, in New Zealand along with the Tooth Fairy. And in Maryland.

Odd portrayal of how the Easter Bunny works… I thought the Bunny came while you weren’t looking, and brought and hid stuff for you to find…

Apparently, in Maine, he (or is it she? Which gender of rabbit lays eggs?) is. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/11/us/easter-bunny-coronavirus-maine-trnd/index.html

RABBITS ARE EXPENDABLE!
