How one Medill student on the Dean's List is spending his summer
- me: why are you so bored, what are you doing this summer?
- him: nothing. i recently became a cha cha guide which is exciting
- me: what is a cha cha guide?

- him: i am one of the people who gives the answers. i get 20 cents per answer
- me: what kind of questions do you get?
- him: my last one was "how do a dog and cat procreate"
- me: hahahaha how did you answer???
- him: "Cats and dogs do not mate. The genetic variations among species do not allow for successful fertilization. Have a nice day and thanks for doing the cha cha!"
