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."

"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."
