How one Medill student on the Dean's...

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: when you text 242 242 with a question you get an answer within 3 minutes.
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!"
Kraabel already knew about Cha Cha. He knows most things before I do which is infuriating and fantastic.
