After reading Holly’s post it reminded me of a similar experience I
had with this same cartoon. I was 20 weeks pregnant with Ciel and was at
the Hospital getting an Ultrasound done to see if I was having a boy or a
girl. My mother-in-law Lesa was there with me so it was just me, Lesa,
and the cranky radiologist in the small room. I was laying there on the
table, feeling fairly uncomfortable with my extra full bladder and
watching the screen as the technician went through all of the
measurements first before getting to the baby’s gender. All of a sudden I
realized the music being piped into the room was very familiar, and it
only takes me a few seconds to realize it’s “Ride of the Valkyries” from
the Bugs Bunny cartoon “What’s Opera Doc?”. So of course all I’m
thinking is “Oh Bwoom Hiw-duh, youw so wuv-wee” and I start to laugh.
When both Lesa and the technician looked at me wondering what’s wrong
with me I tell them “It’s the music from that one Bugs Bunny cartoon,
you know the one with the “spear and magic helmet” and the “kill the
wabbit” and stuff”. They looked at me like I was completely insane, and
BOTH of them said, no, they had no idea what I was talking about.
I quoted a few more lines from the episode to no avail and only drew
even more quizzical stares from them. So, completely embarrassed, I
shut-up, and laid back down on the table for the rest of the Ultrasound,
found out I was having a girl, and then as soon as I could, I got out
of that humorless room.
