I've never seen "Screwball Football" unedited. What's cut?

This is what is cut from "Screwball Football":

There is an edit after the football game announcer says, "And there's the gun that ends the half!" In the uncut print, one then saw a rather goofy referee staring at his wrist watch. While he is doing so, he isn't paying attention to the fact that he has aimed his gun to the side of his own head. After he fires the gun and the smoke clears, he has no head. His head pops out of his shirt a couple of seconds later, revealing that he avoided any gunshot injury.

Thanks for the info.

Oh, brother!!! It's just like the kind of stuff WB used to edit out of their cartoons. Why edit that, but leave the dead guy at the end who was shot by a baby for stealing is ice cream? CN strikes again, I guess. :mad:
