Q: Person you most admire?
A: “My mom, because you can get no better advice or have no deeper feelings towards anyone else.”
Q: Why did you come to UPEI?
A: “A weary traveller finds the bleak dunes and barren ex- panses of PEI refreshingly tran- quil. It was a chance to es- cape the troubles plaguing one- self. This is a hideaway where
a man can sort out the tangled weavings of life.”
Q: Do you have any regrets about coming to UPEI?
A: “To have regrets is to have weaknesses and that must not be for I am a mere man, but more man than any other man.”
Q: Are you currently dating anyone?
A: “Even though women were created second, they are foremost in my thoughts.”
Q: So are you dating anyone?
A: “Relationships are very complex and they involve the in- tertwining of man and woman in seemingly endless displays of gratification, which eventually backfires on one or both parties in the end.”
Q: Does this mean yes?
A: “Move on to the next ques- tion.”
Q: Are you or have you ever been in love?
