...neglected to make sure the horse's socks matched. As a result, Dan Rice's Wife Maggie's Incredible Educated Horse, as it capers about reading the hour off Dan's gold watch, displays a pair of red socks, a pair of lavender, and a pair of polka-dot. Not exactly your prime specimen of pre-Civil War humor...
...LOWLA BRIDGIDA! reads the sign on a Grand Canal ponte, just before one of Friz Freleng's manic critters slams into the lintel at full frontal force.

Stepien resorted to such measures after Franklin ridiculed the new team fight song, comparing it to a beer-hall polka. After the edict, Franklin took time off from his regular "Pigskin Pete" feature to call Stepien a "pathological liar" and threaten court action. And you're still listening to Clif and Claf...
