"Hey, Flash, wanna hear a joke?" Nick asked as he and Judy approached the DMV counter.

The fox smirked. "It's called—"
The bunny sighed. "'—a hustle, sweetheart.' Yeah, I know."
"Sure ... Nick," Flash replied. "What ... is ... it?"
"OK," Nick said. "An otter couple is on vacation in Pawaii. The husband starts to take a shower and then notices the soap is gone. So he calls out to his wife to bring him some more. But she replies, 'No soap. Radio.'"
The sloth stared for a moment and then a smile slowly formed. "Ha! ... Ha! ... Ha!" Just as slowly, he turned around. "Hey ... Priscilla ..."
"Nick," Judy said as she pulled on his tie, "you're sleeping on the couch tonight."
