Josh leaned up against a desk in the Danger Room, hands in his pocket and a grin on his face.

"President Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House, had a big block of cheese and I can't believe I'm giving this speech," he began. "He did not, sadly, have a cracker the size of Lake Tahoe. I checked. My old boss, the White House Chief of Staff, used this folksy excuse to make us all talk to total crackpots once a year and today that privilege falls to you."

He waved his hands. "Pick a desk, make yourself comfortable, the computer'll drop someone insane off to talk to you. Try not to laugh in their faces--they're all based on real people. Um, sadly."

"Oh," the man said, disappointed. "Can you put me in contact with someone more important?"

"Of course," Zack said. "You're going to need to look for a Josh Lyman, that's Lyman spelt L-Y-M-A-N, he'll be able to answer all of your questions."

The man wrote the name down carefully. "Thank you, young man," he said. "You've been very helpful."
