I saw this article in the news a few weeks ago and was reminded why I will never take my kids to a circus: INDIANAPOLIS — More than a dozen children were injured Saturday morning at the Indiana State Fairgrounds when a circus elephant they were waiting to ride got startled and caused some scaffolding

The closest he got was saying “Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I’ll give it to you through the door!” in Taxi. But rats! That’s not the point of this post.
