Danny Donkey hated people.
He hated their greed. He hated their pettiness. He hated their pigness.
But most of all, he hated that
there were 6,000,000,000 of them.
So Danny Donkey visited a spiritual guru.
Climb a great mountain with a group of strangers, said the spiritual guru. The shared challenge will bring you a new perspective.
So Danny Donkey climbed to the top of Mount Everest with a group of five strangers.
And pushed them off.
This is Danny Donkey’s guide to spiritual fulfillment
YAY, said Danny. Only 5,999,999,975 to go.
I am so fulfilled I could cry.

WHAT THE @#$* IS GOING ON HERE?
GUARD DUCK IS CALLING IN AIR SUPPORT TO GET DRAMA CON... THEY'RE GONNA BOMB OUR HOUSE.
BOMB OUR HOUSE?! THAT FEATHERBRAIN'S NOT GONNA BOMB MY HOUSE!
I KNOW. IT'S CRAZY. HE'S CALLED IN EIGHT AIRSTRIKES AND EACH ONE HAS TAKEN OUT A DIFFERENT ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS' HOMES.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST LET THE MILITARY DO ITS JOB.
HI, NEIGHBOR BO... DID YOU GET YOUR 'WOOSIES' FRUIT BASKET?

CAN I GO BACK IN MY HOUSE NOW, GUARD DUCK?
SIR, THERE IS A BOMBIE IN THAT DOMICILE... NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL AIR SUPPORT HAS DONE ITS JOB.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THAT MEANS A BLACK HAWK HELICOPTER IS GONNA TAKE OUT THAT CON, AND IF THAT MEANS BOMBING THAT LITTLE BLUE HOUSE TO SMITHEREENS, WELL, THEN THAT'S JUST THE PRICE OF FREEDOM.
WE LIVE IN THE YELLOW HOUSE.
CORPORAL... SEND 'BLUE-HOUSE GUY' A FRUIT BASKET... PUT 'WOOPSIES' ON THE CARD.
