Dealing With Stupid People [Monday, June 11, 2nd period]

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."

"You will adjust your tone, sir," Aravis said, starting to get annoyed. She raised her chin, every inch her upbringing. "Simply because a person is foreign does not mean that she is ignorant or stupid, and I do not need to be treated like some fool. I should have you killed for your insolence."

Aravis raised her eyebrows. "Are you certain? Have you studied it yourself? I must admit I thought that would be beyond your capabilities. I'm certain there's a clause detailing the rights of visiting diplomats and your rudeness is inexcusable."

"And I've never been so insulted by someone who wasn't immediatey disposed of."

That wasn't really true.

"Yes. I thought you said you understood the Constitution."

"Good luck doing so before my bodyguards catch you," she said easily.
