Engineering senior talks about insomnia, being prodded by little green men
WILDCAT: Wow, you're not dumb are you?
HARRIS: I hope not.
WILDCAT: How much time do you spend studying every day?
HARRIS: A lot. Right now we're gonna take a break and then study some more.
WILDCAT: Are you an insomniac?
HARRIS: No.
WILDCAT: Good to know. I've heard that some insomniacs end up being crazy.
HARRIS: That's what I've heard, but I've never met one.
WILDCAT: Yeah, I hope that some insomniac doesn't get mad that I called him crazy and come after me in a sleepy rage.
HARRIS: Yeah.
WILDCAT: So how was your weekend?
HARRIS: It was pretty good. I studied a lot.
WILDCAT: What an exciting life you lead. So when do you graduate?
HARRIS: This May.
WILDCAT: Super exciting. But you'll probably have to work just as hard. It's a never-ending cycle.
HARRIS: Yeah. It's not gonna change too much.
WILDCAT: But you're gonna make quite a bit of money right?
HARRIS: Yeah.
WILDCAT: Good, good. Speaking of things that are green · let's say an alien spaceship came down and they wanted to beam you up and do experiments on you so that they could make a new race. Would you let them?
HARRIS: Sure.
WILDCAT: You would? Really?
HARRIS: Sure, why not.
WILDCAT: What if they were purple aliens?
HARRIS: Hmm · purple? Probably purple too.
WILDCAT: And green as well?
HARRIS: Yeah.
WILDCAT: So you're not partial to who is poking metal objects into your spleen?
HARRIS: No.
WILDCAT: Would you prefer they had big or small eyes?
HARRIS: Big, with big eyes so that they fit the stereotype.
WILDCAT: Ah, I see. Yea, and if they have a big head, they might have a big brain which would be a little more comforting when they have you all opened up.
HARRIS: Exactly.
