And just as Dick Dastardly and Muttley's #00 Mean Machine approaches Rex Beach on a country road ...
[It emerges that, like the Deacon's One-Hoss Shay, the Mean Machine suddenly, spontaneously even, collapseth by the road, prompting the following exchange:]
DICK DASTARDLY, in a fit of paranoia most extreme: MUTTLEY--!!!!! Did you perchance press the self-destruct button to send this car into collapse?
MUTTLEY: [Inevitable dumb snickering, even pointing at Dick Dastardly to show, perhaps, who may really be at fault here.]
DICK DASTARDLY, ever deeper in the paranoia: MUTTLEY--!!!
[Whereupon Muttley turns his back unto Dastardly, passing quite substantial and powerful flatus as triggers quite the explosion as finishes off the #00 Mean Machine, with the usual snickering to finish off all.]
DICK DASTARDLY, somewhat dismissively: And I, for one, wonder why the dog pound didn't seriously think about emasculating Muttley, to begin with!
