He says, As the Parks Commissioner, I'm ordering you out the park, you dirty bum! Next panel has the bum stating, hold it, I am no ordinary bum. I am the world's oldest bum. I was a bum when the whole world was a park. The little man thinks about it for a minute, then declares, Then I would have been...Commissioner of the World! The bum then says, think I'd better move on.
