Danish Khan Accounting/MIS major

Database-constructing MIS and accounting guy doesn't mind numbers, prefers octopi

WILDCAT: Your major is not fun at all.

KHAN: No, not at all.

WILDCAT: It's like 7 on a Sunday night. What are you doing here so late?

KHAN: Working on a project for MIS.

WILDCAT: Do enlighten me · what do you have to do?

KHAN: We have to make a database.

WILDCAT: Yeah, still not very exciting. You're really not selling me on this accounting thing.

KHAN: There's no way to sell you on it.

WILDCAT: So, do you like numbers?

KHAN: I have learned to like them.

WILDCAT: Would you prefer that they had number soup instead of alphabet soup? Numbers really don't get a lot of credit, if you think about it.

KHAN: No, I think alphabet soup is fine.

WILDCAT: What about on "Sesame Street?" It was usually about the letters. The numbers definitely didn't get the love or airtime they deserved.

KHAN: Yeah.

WILDCAT: Don't you think the numbers get jealous?

KHAN: I don't think so, because they're less fun, and so they don't mean much.

WILDCAT: Nice, and you're gonna be an accountant? Please, do my taxes.

KHAN: Oh, no, no, don't say that. I'll be a good accountant.

WILDCAT: Are you excited that school's almost over?

KHAN: Very much.

WILDCAT: Indeed. I can't wait. I love that it's getting cold. Now I can eat some good ol' alphabet soup. But not number soup, because it's not fun. Anyway, I have a super-serious question. Here goes: If you had to live with an octopus or a crab for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

KHAN: Probably the octopus. He seems friendlier.

WILDCAT: And if you're having a bad day, you know, like you just got too number-crunched, he can give you a big hug. Aww.
