first frame from an old "Beetle Bailey" cartoon
Beetle, with Zero and Plato looking on: Where are you going, Sarge?
Sarge (cheerfully): Ohhhh... I thouhght I'd take a lihttlhe whalkh afhter shuppehr!
second frame
Plato: Well, don't fall over a CLIFF, now, Sarge --- I mean, we don't wanna hafta come lookin' for ya and rescue ya the way we did last time you went off alone for a stroll!
Sarge (beaming confidently with his one tooth) Oh, dohn't whurrhy abhout MHE, bhoyzh --- I've lhearnhed mhy lheshohn --- I'hm nhot ghonnha fhall ohver ahny CLIHFFSH!
third frame, showing Sarge glumly hanging by a tree-trunk that's protruding horizontally over a yawningly-bottomless chasm YET AGAIN}
Ahndh ifh thehy bhuhLHIEVE MHE, I'hll bhe hehre tihll MHORNHIINGH!
So apparently just his spoken promise wasn't sufficient --- Sarge should have written a note as a riminder to stay away from cliffs! :P
