Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, August 14, 2nd period]

Josh leaned up against a desk in the Danger Shop, 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."

"Saldaea in the Borderlands of the Westlands on my world," Faile told him.

She knew this was just an exercise for class with more fake people, but she wondered how someone not associated with Fandom was going to react to that.

"That's not a really country, dear," Lord John said.

"I have been told that, yes," Faile replied.

"Then why do you continue to tell people a fallacy?" he asked.

"Because what is a fallacy for you and many others is not a fallacy for me," Faile explained. "There is no country called Saldaea in this world. And yet, that is where I was born." No, she didn't want to explain it any better. Hopefully she could confuse someone else for once.

Lord John stared at her for a long moment, then reached for his flask again.

"I am intrigued."

Faile gave him a considering look. "You don't think I'm crazy?"

"Oh, I think you're as mad as a March hare," he said with a smile, "but I spend a great deal of time around British royalty. If insanity stopped me from hearing a good story, there'd hardly be a point to the cocktail party."
