Hikers Kill Rabid Bobcat with Geologist Hammer

A geologist from the University of Arizona (a notorious party school) and his marine biologist wife were hiking in the mountains outside Tucson when a deranged bobcat began stalking them.
They tangled with the cat for about 10 minutes before he clubbed the animal to death with a rock hammer he had on hand. It must have been a pretty exciting afternoon.

“Is anyone here a marine biologist?” Bad proof-reading.

I would like to kill one of these with my mountain axe and have a nice protein-rich dinner afterwards instead of bringing fishing gear and look like a 55 year old man from Montana. Yeah, baby, hang that fur on your wall, or better - on your head!

Wow that’s love, she married a guy and now lives in Arizona as a MARINE BIOLOGIST. Must be a lot of whales in Lake Havasu.
Secondly I’d say the cat was angry, because his name was actually Doug, but everyone refused to call him Dougcat and insisted on Bobcat. His name was Doug!
