Why doesn't Donald Duck wear pants?

[pokerfan]

And what kind of animal is Goofy? He's not a dog. Pluto's a dog and isn't like Goofy at all.

Was Walt Disney on drugs?

1. RE Donald

he didn't wear pants so that we might have the expression "donald ducking" for someone who doesn't wear pants. Also, Goofy wasn't a dog, he was an imaginary creature (part hippo, part dog and part something else that I can't remember)

2. Part hippo?

I don't see it.

3. look at the teeth n/t

8. OK

What am I looking for?

4. Donald isn't wearing pants because he's a fucking DUCK, and...

shouldn't be wearing jackets or hats either.

Dammit, you made me look up Goofy, even though that should be the last thing on Earth I'd wanna do around midnight before I checked my lottery tickets, but it turns out Goofy started out as Dippy Dog.

Now, aren't you glad you know.

5. Thanks

I like to think of him as a man-dog hybrid. A 'Mog' if you will.

Yeah, what's weird is that Donald wears clothes but not pants. If he ran around naked like a Wookie, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Or so the religious whackos would have you believe. :P

7. You don't need pants for the victory dance, cuz baboon is better

than weasel.

If you recognize that, a gold star for you for the day.
