Where the Water Is Cold Quotes

“This contest pushed Bum’s reputation to its zenith. The Popeye bout, as it was later known, seemed to grow and grow each time it was told.
There were no coyotes or wolves in Union Township. Of course there were none; Bum had driven them out. The stories grew and grew and with each story Bum’s reputation grew. People began to say they felt safer because Bum lived in the boundaries of our township.
Someone started a story that the New Castle Police Department wanted to buy Bum to patrol their streets and make the city safer. Of course, I couldn’t sell Bum. His popularity was too great and public opinion would never let me do it. His name was as well-known as Babe Ruth’s, Jack Dempsey’s or Jim Thorpe’s.
Bum was more popular than anything that came out of Hollywood.
Lassie and Rin Tin Tin were second-raters compared to him now.
Stories about him continued to grow. He could swim faster than Johnny Weissmuller and could run faster than the great horse Man O’ War. Tales about him simply would not stop. Someone wanted Bum to run for public office, but I never thought he’d like it very much.”
