The gag started as an artist's doodle of a caveman driving on a Los Angeles freeway, I was told at Hanna-Barbara. It got passed around the office enough to get the attention of management.
They do that with computerized laser equipment now...

I was today years old when I learned this. When I last looked into the subject, a stone memorial with raised letters is much more expensive than one with carved letters. Twenty-five years this month is how long since alerted to the cost.
So, some things are 'written in stone'?
Where does that quote come from?
According to ALB, Socrates. I musta missed that oration, but somebody says essentially the same thing every 15 years or so.
I think this quote is actually from Adrian Socrates, from Tarpon Springs, FL (the fisherman, not the philosopher)....

Wednesday (whatever that is) is as good a day for a proper grump
because I'm freshly back from the doctor's office and a diagnosis of moderate arthritis in my left elbow. Not a great deal to be done. There's physical therapy, and a brace. Have instructions for the PT, and some complimentary surgical tube. On the plus side (I guess?) the x-ray technician remembers me. Pretty much the same arthritis that took both knees and a foot.

I can only imagine what your instructions to he/she will be!
Anybody ever get a wild rabbit up your donkey?

None diagnosed as yet!
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Arthritis is a fierce adversary- osteo arthritis in my dad's knees ended his love affair with Vibes when he was in his mid-fifties. By the time he was 61, it had undone the benefits of restorative surgery on his fretting hand, and that was the end of his career as a guitarist and teacher.

I just looked that up, trying to figure out what you're rabbiting about.
I thought it might have been some arcane movie reference, but my Google Fu is drawing blanks...
Think! Think!! Think!!! (Paraphrase) 
I am also at a loss from what the phrase Jeff Scott wrote means.
All I will say is I avoid everything, including wild rabbits, from entering my "donkey"....if you know what I mean....
I have. Usually gets me in trouble.
