My buddy Cooper's daughter and my daughter are buds. Coop's daughter is serving in the Peace Corps in Northwestern Ghana. Coop is there visiting his daughter at this moment. Coop's wife, who misses him immensely BTW, told me this morning that Coop had been getting some very high offers from Ghanaians for his daughter's hand in marriage. Coop can basically name his price. With his daughter present Coop, jokingly I hope, told the suitors it would take one thousand cows. One of them answered, "My brother has one thousand cows! Give me a minute to call him." To which the daughter answered, "Dad!!!!!!!!!!" "I'm sorry gentlemen," Coop replied, "You misunderstood me. What I meant to say was one thousand elephants." The suitors are searching.
Dear Coop,
see how much they would pay for a Princess. I will give her current beau Gregory ample opportunity to up the ante. What do you plan to do with one thousand elephants? Start an elephant park out on Prairie Lake? Maybe Kevin can keep some out by Swede Church? Sounds like a tourist attraction to me. Maybe there is grant money somewhere? Those tigers we had around here? They just scared folk. Everybody loves an elephant. How are we gonna get 'em all over here?

I can't believe you would try to sell my hand in marriage? 1,000 elephants, come on, I am definitely worth at least 2,000 elephants because I guess I'm a princess and all. Love ya Dad!
P.S. Where did you get that pic?
