Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, July 31, 2nd period]

"Today, you will deal with real people, so keep your eye rolling to a minimum, please," Josh said as the students assembled in the Danger Shop. "We will be working...retail!" he said, clapping his hands together.

The Danger Shop turned into a sandwich store of a chain that might be familiar to some of you, oh yes. "Half of you will be working behind the counter. The other half of you will be the incredibly irritating customers. Ask how long a foot-long sandwich is! Demand a sandwich with everything except most of the ingredients! Wonder why a sandwich shop doesn't serve Mexican!" Josh's grin turned positively evil. "And you customer service types--remember to smile. And, um, not to punch anyone."

"Of course!" Josh said. "If you want a sandwich, you have to ask the people with hairnets, though."

"Technically, that would make me a stupid person, wouldn't it?" Jim joked. "No, I just had breakfast anyway."

"It's more for the look on their faces," Josh said, pointing over at the sulking students. "God, I love my job."

"If I had gotten here sooner, I would have given them hell," Jim said. "I actually needed to ask a favor to help me deal with a freedom of the press issue."

"Ahh, yes, I heard about our new..." Josh looked around, waved at the squirrel, and carefully enunciated, "headmistress. Charming woman."

He hoped squirrels didn't have finely honed sarcasm detectors.

"You know me, always willing to defend the Constitution. How can I help?"

"Personally, I don't think I can do the radio with restrictions like that. But my cousin with a high-pitched, squeaky voice is coming into town soon and I wanted to celebrate that with some balloons. I figured with all the dances and stuff, student council might have a helium tank that I could use to fill up some balloons to celebrate my cousin stopping by," Jim said. "And, you know, just buying some helium balloons takes away the fun of doing it yourself."

It wasn't the hardest code to break, but he trusted that the squirrels would be good to him and stick to the cover story.

Josh carefully suppressed a howl of laughter. "I love when relatives come to town. I'd be happy to help. Handwavily Stop by my office before they arrive and I'll hook you up."

"Thank you, sir. And if you ever want any outside help annoying your students, just let me know," Jim said.

"You're one the short list," Josh promised with a smile. "See you soon."
