Mr. Fudd was giddy with his discovery. He even lept into the air and tapped his heels together with joy. "This wiww wevowutionizze ouw undewstanding of the concept of civiwization itself!" He punctuated his exclamation with a stuttered laugh in his raspy voice.
"A we-ah A we-ah A we-ah What are you talking about?"
"The vewy foundations of the mind! Dr. Pehg, do you know about the cowwective unconcious?"
"A ke-ah A ke-ah A ke-ah Carl Jung's model of psychoanalasys?"
"Exactwy! I bewieve I know the spiwituaw foundations of the cowwective unconscious."
"A be-ah A be-ah A be-ah But, the collective unconscious is a combination of social pressures and adopted cultural symbols."
"So Jung bewieves. But, I theowize that the human mind is, in fact, an intewsection of lawgew spiwits that make up the exact ewement that makes civiwization and even thought possible."
"A we-ah A we-ah A we-ah What is that element?"
Dr.s Duhch and Bunnet sighed in anticipation.
"The human mind is made up of wunacy!"
"What?!?" The idea was so nonsensical as to make Dr. Pehg forget to stutter... which made even less sense.
"Think about it. Why awe you heaw?"
"A ve-ah A ve-ah A ve-ah Venoms. I'm here to study venoms and to learn how to produce better, even wider ranging, anti-venoms."
"A vewy woothy cause, Dr. Pehg. I appweciate youw ambition and youw humanitawian impuwse. But, why do you want to cweate anti-venoms?"
"A te-ah te-ah A te-ah To save lives."
Elmer turned and locked Dr. Pehg in a gaze. "Why save wives?"
"A ye-ah A ye-ah A ye-ah You can stop that line. I value lives because I A ve-ah A ve-ah A ve-ah value them. I don't need any other reason."
Elmer's face broke into a wide grin and he laughed that stuttered, slightly raspy laugh again. "Exactwy!
"Wogic awone cannot pwovide even the wittwest weason to act. No wogic has no pwace in stawting motivation. Onwy wunacy can be the uwtimate fowce of motivation. Aww action, dwama, waw, civiwization down to each individuwaw is mewewy dancing to that song.
"And," he continued as he boldly lead the way into his office with its sound equipment, "now I can pwoove it!"
