That would depend on the rate at which you line people up.

I think he means how you line up the living - how many in which row; at least, that's the way I took it.

Every fraternity member knows this one...

My father's fraternity especially... they led a cow up several stories to someone's room... in the late 50s (no elevator)... it was not possible to get it out alive. I won't describe it any further, except to say the cafeteria served steak later that week.

Yes, that's what I've read happened usually. Sometimes, though, they can get piano movers to bring it down. Still, these days, it would be considered malicious mischief...

It was about 1952 - nobody was going to put forth that much effort for a cow. As it was, it was removed through a window... in parts... as the whole animal wouldn't have fit.
