"Daisy, it's the new me!"

Warning: Spoilers
One fine day, Donald Duck goes to visit his girlfriend, Daisy Duck. Donald is smoking a cigar, which bothers Daisy so she tries to open her window but proves unsuccessful, so Donald volunteers to try. He too cannot get the window open. He heaves and strains and sweats but the window won't budge and in the process, a floorboard hits him in the rear. Donald throws a huge fit, smashing the window, breaking absolutely everything in his wake, almost virtually destroying Daisy's house. By then she had figured out the window had been locked and calmly goes over to unlock it and successfully opens the window, leaving Donald feeling very much like a heel. Daisy declared she would not see Donald again until he learned to control his temper.

It all seemed hopeless until Donald came upon an ad from the Tootsberry Institute of Temperism. They sounded like the answer. So in no time at all, the institute dropped off a very important tool that would help Donald on his long road to controlling his temper: an insult machine. This machine's sole purpose was to annoy, anger and irritate. It does just that, by verbally and physically abusing Donald for the next ten minutes and the outcome is: Donald doesn't get angry. He's made it! He rushes over to Daisy's house to introduce his new self. Daisy decided to test him out on the window, which once again proved difficult to open. But he finally got it open, particularly when the pane fell off and smashed him. Daisy now agreed to go out with Donald, however when she shows him her new hat, and he bursts out laughing, Daisy proves that she too has a temper in need of control.

Cured Duck. Another very funny Donald Duck short. The funniest part is at the beginning when he throws a temper tantrum, smashing everything in the house and flies around the room on that table. Of course, versions of this cartoon that air on TV omit the scenes of Donald smoking, so I'm assuming the whole beginning to this cartoon is very short. Political correctness is bunk! But anyway, if you're a fan of Donald Duck like I am, then you'll want to check out Cured Duck, celebrating it's 60th anniversary this year! See it today!
