Have you ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses?<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>Seriously, though. <BR/>The matinee idol Clark Gable used to munch carrots I believe, as a snack. And it is said that the cartoon character Bugs Bunny was based on him and his carrot munching .RAJI MUTHUKRISHNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767924355822361427noreply@blogger.com
