I always thought the coyote was cheap and bought poorly made
   products. I assumed the ACME company was the maker of very bad
   products. Since he was a coyote, I figured he wasn't capable of
   making much money, although I never COULD figure out what he did
   for a living. "What do you do for a living?" is the standard,
   ANNOYING American question and as a kid, I wondered what he did
   for his paycheck too. I made the mistake once of asking a
   Russian father of a friend of mine what he did for a living. He
   nearly bit my head off. That's when I found out it's a very rude
   Russian question.
