...might actually kill you? -Andy Baker, Des Moines, IowaIt was just part of living with Keith at the time. It was like, "You are going to kill me. Go ahead." Then he would say, "I would, but look at all the mess me and your wife would have to clean up afterwards." It was like brothers arguing, and it could turn bad, or we could have a laugh.

Harvard students are notoriously clean, well groomed, and virtuous. First-years at the College are known particularly for their chaste habits and healthy lifestyles. Failing to do laundry every week? Unheard of. Irregular bathing schedules? Absurd. Engaging in sexual contact with another resident of your dormitory, especially in Pennypacker? Surely you jest!
