Summary: 


Here in Socorro, a person is hard-pressed to find a good time. That
is why some of these type things (re: kidnappings) happen here.

For instance...one time some people went down to the local McDonalds.
On the playground there was a statue of Ronald McDonald. The people
sawed off the clown at the ankles, took his body to the New Mexico
Tech Campus, and hung him on the face of Weir Hall (essentially, the
math and physics building). He was later returned. Now, the McDonaldland
playground has a high iron fence around it. Also, Ronald has his own
private fence surrounding his body.

Then there was the time some enterprising students traveled to
Albuquerque and stole Bob's Big Boy. He was brought back to campus
and disguised...e.g., a moustache was painted on him and his hair
was "dyed" black. Then, after living here for a few days, Big
Boy was given as a trophy to the winner of the rugby tournament.
What happened to old BB since, I don't know.

On a more violent note...and a different subject:

Someone once threw a brick (with a note tied around it) through the
window of McDonalds here in Socorro. The note read: "You deserve
a break today!"

Try not to laugh too hard...
