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."

Ronan shook his head. "Unfortunately, all of the pens to which I have access are carefully counted for inventory. If one goes missing, such as if I were to give it to you, it would be considered theft of office supplies and I could be fired, and possibly charge criminally." Where does he come up with this stuff?

"Oh," the man said, disappointed. "Thanks anyway, I guess." He stood up and held out his hand. "I'll be in touch."

Ronan shook his hand and smiled. "If I've done my job properly, sir, you'll be so satisfied that we'll never hear from you again."
