Bubba Went to a Good-Old-Boy College on a Football Scholarship. He Was a Terrific Running

JUST FOR FUN

Bubba went to a good-old-boy college on a football scholarship. He was a terrific running back, but a poor student. At graduation day, Bubba didn't have enough credits. But, now, remember, he was a great football star,and the students held a rally demanding that the dean give him a diploma anyway.

They were so insistent that the dean agreed on the condition that if Bubba could answer one, single question correctly, the dean would give him a diploma.

The one-question test was held in the auditorium and the students packed the place. It was standing room only. The dean was on the stage and told Bubba to come up. The dean had the diploma in his hand and said, “Bubba, if you can answer this question correctly, I’ll give you your diploma.”

Bubba stood there, took a deep breath, and announced that he was ready. The dean then asked him the question. “Bubba,” he said, “How much is three times seven?”

Bubba looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, just pondering the question. The students began chanting, “Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!” Then Bubba held up his hand and the auditorium became silent. Bubba said, “I think I know the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one.”

A hush fell over the auditorium, and then the students began another chant. “Give him another chance! Give him another chance!”

LAST WEEK’S PROGRAM

(Continued from inside)

Wolves are fed from four- to four-and-a-half pounds of domestic meat five days a week. “Road kill is welcome,” Cougar said. The life span of a wolf in the wild is from six to nine years. These members of the Canuslupis species have the potential to live to 20 years of age. The record for known longevity is 21.

The wolf is the sole ancestor of the dog, which genetic and paleontological records indicate was first domesticated in Europe 18,800-32,100 years ago by hunter-gatherers.

Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is a small, non-profit entity that relies on donations, Cougar said. Its continuing mission is to teach the public to stop buying and selling exotic animals.

LAST WEEK’S PROGRAM

Leyton Cougar, Executive Director of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, and Storm, were guests on May 28.

Leyton Cougar introduced Storm, an educational ambassador in the quest to educate people about wolves, and to discourage them from “making wild animals their pets.” A wolf, he said, would not make a good pet. “Spread the word,” he said. It’s never a good idea for either party; and often has to do with ego fulfillment on the part of the two-legged species. “That’s what we have dogs for,” he said.

Wolves don’t guard anything, Cougar said. “They are the most fearful animal in the woods,” he said. A wolf family is defined as a pack, where the leaders are the only breeders. Cougar originally volunteered at the then-named, “Candy Kitchen Rescue Ranch” in the summer of 1996, and later relocated to Candy Kitchen, NM.

Leyton has rescued over 400 wolves and wolf pups, along with 11 arctic wolves which were stuffed into cages. An adult wolf has the ability to eat one-third of its body weight.
