  4. Rules of the “Road” • Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "beep, beep". • No outside force can harm the Coyote -- only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products. • The Coyote could stop anytime -- IF he was not a fanatic. (Repeat: "A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." —George Santayana). • No dialogue ever, except "beep, beep" and yowling in pain. • Road Runner must stay on the road -- for no other reason than that he's a roadrunner. • All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters -- the southwest American desert. • All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation. • Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy. • The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures. • The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote.

  5. The 1/3 – 1/3- 1/3 Rule And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen Monty Python and the Holy Grail
