Thankfully for Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear were **not** able to utter this phrase when they flung Brer Rabbit into the nearby prickly thicket, and thus said dense patch of spiky brambles prevented them from pursuing said bunny as he was guffawingly making his escape.
When da prince rescued Sleeping Beauty, he wasn't actually able to tell his horse, "At least there are no briars" as he was slashing his way through da thorn-bushes that ringed the castle.
