Squirt! Pop! Pop! Poink! Poink! Sniff Blat! Sniff, Toss! Toss!: A Morty Dog, fully aware of the odd circumstances that led to this condition, squirts water in the face of the cartoonist with a squirt gun. As a consequence, the heads of Millard Fillmore and Chester Alan Arthur POP out of each of the cartoonist's nostrils. Fillmore says, "Don't you just hate it when this happens?" Arthur asks, "Where's the bathroom?" The cartoonist shouts to a little man who has been waiting, "Now! Now! Now!" and the little man plucks out both heads (Poink! Poink!) leaving the cartoonist to sniff a bit. Morty and the cartoonist watch as the little man tosses both heads in a full wagon with the sign "Ex-President Cranium Transport Company." Comments Morty, "Now there's something you don't see every day-- Hey, cheer up! You could've had Nixon and Reagan up your nose." The cartoonist replies, "I'm going to make an appointment for you with the local vivisectionist." (How Two Ex-Presidents Went Up My Nose! (1994))
