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."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew," the woman said. "We're in the White House. I always knew you Democrats had no shame!"

"Do you know what's worse?" Johnny said, leaning slightly forward, "I'm really the devil in disguise." Then he snapped his fingers and a ball of fire appeared in hands. "Totally hot, aren't I?"

The woman clutched at the cross around her neck and began screaming.

A lot.

"If you keep screaming I'm going to have to send you straight to hell. Sorry, but those are the rules. Screaming equals instant hell."

She didn't stop screaming, she just did it as she ran out the door. "Demon! DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMON!"

Josh watched her go. "...huh."

Johnny looked at Professor Lyman and shrugged his shoulders, "What?"

"Generally speaking, screaming's not great," he pointed out, shrugging too.

"Definitely. Hurts the hell outta my ears too," he said, brows raised.

"Go grab some coffee, try to get over the trauma," Josh advised.

"Will do," Johnny said, wondering if it had been bad to scare the hell outta that lady? He shrugged it off; she totally deserved it.
