You may have heard that Bullwinkle the Moose was found dead. And a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate the mysterious circumstances of the moose’s death.
Most people are aware of the fact that the moose was found crushed to death by a 16-ton anvil dropped from a great height. And of course, everybody was certain that the moose’s live-in companion (and isn’t that an interesting euphemism?) a certain hyperactive flying squirrel, was the most likely suspect.
But further investigation revealed a number of things. First, JPL did a computer simulation and determined that a flying squirrel could not achieve airspeed while carrying a 16-ton anvil, so that cleared Rocket J. Squirrel.
But the coroner reported that the _expression on the moose’s face showed absolutely no fear, so obviously the anvil hit him unexpectedly, or he was completely trusting of the circumstances – which could implicate Rocky after all. The _expression on the moose’s face was the biggest smile ever seen on a Toon.
Clutched in the moose’s baseball mitt – which he always wore when he caught Rocky – was a tiny statue of Krishna. The religious significance of this is not immediately clear; neither is the eyewitness report of a rabbi on a pogo stick rapidly leaving the scene.
So…if we summarize the clues in Bullwinkle’s death, what we have is: wee Vishnu, a merry crushed moose, and a hoppy Jew near.
