I am not sure how I was supposed to take a crack about the dog killing the bunny as a joke, tone or not.
Well first, I think it may require surgically removing the woody tree appendage from the anatomical cavity it is jammed in. Then you might follow it up with a couple of ounces of your favorite alcoholic libation, just to kill the bug that clearly lives there as well. After that I might suggest you watch a few episodes of Bugs Bunny where millions of people over the last half century or more, have found watching a Pig try to shoot a Rabbit, a Coyote trying to catch a Roadrunner, or even a Putty Tatt trying to eat a Tweety Bird, very humorous and delightfully entertaining. "If that doesn't do it then you're probably a lost cause and I will bow out", he says this time unapologetically.
BTW, I find labels and name calling a bit offensive and clearly no joking matter.
