Sophomore's mother spent 38 hours giving birth, just so he can talk about being a flour tortilla

Wildcat: Have you ever read "On the Spot"?

Bacon: Uh, yeah a few times.

Wildcat: Can I tell you something? I'm the birth mother of "On the Spot."

Bacon: Really?

Wildcat: Yeah, like two years ago I started it, and now they've got these rookies doing it. So I thought today I'd come out here and show them how it's done. Anyway, um, Donnie, I think that your hat's on sideways.

Bacon: Yeah, it's comfortable I guess. My head's too big for almost any hat.

Wildcat: I have a big head too. Do you think your mom had problems giving birth to you?

Bacon: I know she did.

Wildcat: Because of your big noggin?

Bacon: It was like 38 hours or something.

Wildcat: Wow, that is one big cranium. So, your major is kinda tough. Have you ever built anything interestingly electrical?

Bacon: I built my computer.

Wildcat: Impressive. Have you built a robot?

Bacon: Um, no.

Wildcat: If you were to build one, what kind of robot would it be? And let's keep it clean, buddy.

Bacon: I wouldn't want to do anything with a robot anyway. I'd probably make it go get me food, be like a slave.

Wildcat: That's so sweet. So, let's get serious here. If you were to wrap yourself in a burrito, what type of tortilla would you choose?

Bacon: That's a tough question.

Wildcat: I know. It's deep.

Bacon: I like flour tortillas.
