GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, D.C.-Last Thursday ambitious plans were revealed for Jack the Bulldog’s tomb, including an elegant adjoining burial chamber for Jack the Bulldog’s cherished student walkers. An enthused office of advancement rep. explained the rationale behind the ambitious project, “Look, we know death is a tough topic for a lot of Hoyas, but the reality is Jack won’t be with us forever. These plans ensure that he enters the afterlife with all his essentials by his side; gilded skateboards, pint-sized logo wear and, of course, his favorite handlers.”
However, university officials were quick to caution potentially applicants that there’s more to this role than meets the eye, and cuddling our famous bulldog won’t be your only responsibility in life beyond the veil.
“Here at Georgetown, we’re so used to being wowed by Jack that it’s easy to forget, no matter how magnificent he is, he is still just a puppy who realistically cannot interpret instructions on how to navigate the perils of the underworld.” chuckled DeGoia, “It’s critical that Jack has people he trusts to guide him through this journey, as well as bagging up any accidental “offerings” he might make while down below.”
The university was reticent to reveal which lucky walkers will join Jack on this ethereal voyage, but after identifying certain spatial restrictions within the crypt potential applicants will be limited to those 5’4 and under.
