How was Jerry evil? Mice gotta skim
Jerry antagonized Tom into attacking him more often than not. He viewed it as a game rather than a life or death struggle. Tom OTOH would be kicked out on the street if he didn't try to keep Jerry under control.
I bet its that Jerry has that toxoplasmosis making him unafraid of cats. In that light, nobody's at fault. Its just nature shit happening to play out in the domestic sphere
Some Guinness was spilt on the barroom floor, when the pub was shut for the night. Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse & stood in the pale moon light. He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor, then back on haunches he sat. And all night long you could hear him roar, "Bring on the goddamn cat!
I feel like nobody uses the word haunches enough/anymore. Such an amusing oldtimey euphemism for
Hella haunches
Haunches like conches
Famous anus
