<Brain>  "PINKY!  ...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

<Pinky>  "Uh, I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a silencer big enough to put on a tank?"

I gotcher tank¹ silencer right here.

[1]  Yes, I know it's not technically a tank, it's an M109 self-propelled 155mm howitzer.  But do you really think Pinky knows the difference?  He's barking² insane.
