Put 'em up! Put 'em up!

This is how I will respond to open water swimming from now on:


Dorothy: Your majesty, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?


Cowardly Lion: Not nobody. Not nohow.


Tin Woodsman: Not even a rhinoceros?


Cowardly Lion: Imposerous!


Dorothy: How about a hippopotamus?


Cowardly Lion: Why, I'd thrash him from top to bottomus.


Dorothy: Supposing you met an elephant?


Cowardly Lion: I'd knot him up in cellophant.


Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus?


Cowardly Lion: I'd show him who was king of the forest [ed. water].
