COOK: That's fine.

CARNER: Oh great.

COSTELLO: OK, so you have this top 10 list of college freshman and the darndest things they say.

CARNER: Well you know this is Beloit College, the class -- they do this every year, they put something out. It's called a 2005 Mindset. It's all the kids who are entering college this year as freshman.

COSTELLO: Where's Beloit College?

CARNER: Beloit College is in Wisconsin.
