Ameen Malhas pre-business sophomore

Jordan native voices thoughts on world domination, digit amputation and cartoon mice

WILDCAT: What do you want to do?

MALHAS: I want to work in consulting, actually, in New York.

WILDCAT: Do you want to take over the world?

MALHAS: Hopefully.

WILDCAT: Yeah, that's a good idea, you know. Did you ever watch "Pinky and the Brain?"

MALHAS: Uh, yes.

WILDCAT: You did? Great cartoon.

MALHAS: Yeah, I love it.

WILDCAT: Brain is a mastermind, don't you think?

MALHAS: Yes, but Pinky always manages to mess things up.

WILDCAT: I know. If you had to choose someone in your life to be Pinky if you were Brain, who would you pick?

MALHAS: Uh, I don't know. You. No, I'm joking.

WILDCAT: Me? I'm honored.

MALHAS: Probably one of my friends. I have a few friends like Pinky.

WILDCAT: Your friends aren't too intelligent?

MALHAS: No, they're intelligent, but they hold me back.

WILDCAT: And you still keep them around?

MALHAS: Yeah, I've known them too long to let them go.

WILDCAT: So where are you from?

MALHAS: Jordan.

WILDCAT: Wow! And what made you come out here?

MALHAS: I was in Illinois, I got bored, I called my friend here and he was like, "Yeah, come over," and I packed up and left.

WILDCAT: If you were to get frostbite on your fingers and your toes, and you were to have them amputated, which would you choose?

MALHAS: My toes, definitely.

WILDCAT: You'd rather walk on stumps.

MALHAS: Yeah.

WILDCAT: Would you ever have reconstructive surgery on your toes?

MALHAS: No, not at all. I don't believe in reconstructive surgery. I was going to give a speech on our image-conscious society, but I am going to stop now.
