"Larry: Everybody's got a water buffalo. Yours is fast but mine is slow. Oh, where we get them, I don't know, but everybody's got a water buffalo!" ... Dr. Archibald: Stop it. Stop! Stop right this instant! What do you think you're doing?! You can't say everybody's got a water buffalo when everybody does NOT have a water buffalo! We're going to get nasty letters saying, "Where's my water buffalo? Why don't I have a water buffalo?" And are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so! Just stop being so silly!"

[edit] Notability Tag

Shouldn't this be folded into the University's article? =David(talk)(contribs) 15:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think it should. The incident itself is relatively notable, and received a lot of press attention. I've heard it singled out since then, as a prime example of well-meaning legislation or rulemaking run amok. Although the incident involves the University of Pennsylvania, it's not about the university, and thus should be on a separate page. –Kadin2048 20:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What did he actually say?

Did he say beheima, or did he say water buffalo? The way I heard the story is that he said beheima, and they looked it up in the dictionary and found that it meant water buffalo. If that is the case, the article should be corrected in accordance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.115.53 (talk) 15:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
