The Dinosaur Who Cried Wolf

I worked at a national park; people who entered the visitor centre had the option of watching a short introduction video of the park in our tiny little theatre if they wanted. This film condenses all sorts of neat information about the park, including the park’s native species. One such species, the video explains, is the Newfoundland Wolf, which went extinct around 1930.

Guest: “Why haven’t they reintroduced the Newfoundland Wolf?”

Me: “Well ma’am, they’re extinct. They don’t exist anymore.”

Guest: “Well, can’t they bring them back?”

Me: “No, ma’am. Extinct means gone forever.”

Guest: “Can’t y’all Jurassic Park that s***?”
