Junior, alumna theorize about cold weather, body hair and smoking risks
Wildcat: Hi, my name's Nathan and you're on the spot. It's cold, right? I bet you're glad you have a beard.
McIntosh: I am.
Wildcat: All right. (to Peden) Is it true? Do you think women get colder than men?
Peden: Yes, probably because they're thinner.
Wildcat: Maybe it's because you guys don't have as much body hair. You shave your armpits and stuff.
Peden: I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but ... good theory.
Wildcat: If you had hair on your armpits, do you think you'd be as cold?
Peden: No, I think I would be just as cold. So wear clothing.
Wildcat: As far as smoking goes, you don't heed the surgeon general, or what?
McIntosh: No. I don't trust the surgeon general.
Wildcat: Do you even know who the surgeon general is? Do you know his name?
McIntosh: No. I know the old guy, with the mustache.
Wildcat: I don't know either. I don't even know who my district representatives are. How long does it take you to grow a beard?
McIntosh: About a week.
Wildcat: (to Peden) Have you ever gone camping and grown out your armpit hairs at all? (Peden stares) Do you know how long it would take them to reach full growth?
Peden: A month. I'd give it a month.
Wildcat: Really. Are you a hairy girl?
Peden: Not at all. I went on a camping trip for 40 days. Well, I didn't grow my hair out, but several girls did, and it took about four weeks, I'd say.
Wildcat: You shaved while you were camping? With what? Like in the river?
Peden: No. Wherever we stopped at campsites you could shower at.
Wildcat: Oh, I thought you like shaved in the river and some poor fish was like, swallowing your stubs.
