Bubba wanted to play football at Penn State, but his grades just weren't quite good enough. He was about to lose his scholarship. Ol' Coach Joe had a special program for struggling students, an so he called Bubba into his office to give him one last chance to stay on the team.
"Bubba" he said, "If you can answer these two questions correctly, you can stay on the team."
Question #1..."how many days of the week start with the Letter "T"?"
Question #2..."how many " D's" are there in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?"
Coach Paterno tells Bubba to go home and think on it, and come back on Monday with the answers.
Monday Morning, Bubba shows up at the coaches office, and the coach starts to ask the questions.
"Bubba, how many days of the week start with the letter "T"?" he asks.
"two" he says. "Today and tomorrow."
The coach chuckles, and says" Well, that's not QUITE the answer I was expecting, but, I'll give you the point anyway.
"Bubba" he says, "How many letter D's" in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?"
Bubba looks at him for a minute, and answers
"Coach, this one gave me a lot of trouble. I thought on it almost all weekend. Finally," he says, " I realized the right answer was 43.
"43?" The coach exclaims! How did you get that answer?
Well coach, it had me stumped for a while, then it came to me....
dee-dee-de-dee-dee-dee-dee, -dee-dee-dee-dee-deeee.....
