When asked about his involvement Cobb said, "When I was in the peace corps in Ecuador everyone carried something similar to deer urine. It had medicinal qualities and it fit in the little pocket of my man-purse!" Reporters from the Northern Observer, after the lengthy South American story said, "But Mr. Cobb, what is your involvement in the Rapids Urine ring?"
"Button? Button is hanging in the garage." This Northern Observer reporter feels both were evading the serious subject at hand.

But mark me down for next summer's KAXE Mississippi River Festival - save a brat on a stick for me!"
