![]() ![]() ![]() As Bud says, ""I ain't seen so much fun since my pa caught his tie in the toaster""-and Peck is off again. All of this occasions much yelling and jumping from Aunt Augusta and laughing fit to be tied from the kids. She also gets her thumb caught in the trigger (BBBRRRAAATTT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT) and her toe up against a hornet, which works its way up her stocking and inside her undies. Well somehow the noise of the gun frightens Augusta so that she flips out of the hammock and onto Skip and Bud. ![]() Peck tries hard for hilarity in this anecdote about rural Vermont tomboy Elizabeth Trigman, who gets the boys to call her Trig when she becomes the possessor of a ""Melvin Purvis official Junior G-man machine gun."" To warm up the audience, Peck has Trig compare her cow to her teacher even though ""one's a Holstein and one's a Methodist."" Then a visiting uncle gives her the gun and she enlists neighbors Skip and Bud in a cops-and-robbers game, with Aunt Augusta, who is sunning unaware in the hammock, as the bad guy. ![]()
