Well, it wasn't the first time the roadrunner had tripped: he'd been brought in with two broken legs from where he's apparently challenged a car to a game of chicken and lost. Chuck Jones's Coyote would have eaten well with this character.

(Right about the time I first met you, back when I was still wasting time at New Pathways, I was bicycling to work one morning only to encounter a big rooster roadrunner, one of the only ones I've ever seen in the Dallas area, screaming his fool head off at the traffic passing by and lunging at the occasional pickup. They may be brave birds, but they aren't smart birds. I have a lot more respect for wild turkeys: after an encounter with a pair of them at Wakulla Springs State Park just south of Tallahassee, I have nothing but respect for wild turkeys.)
