Debating, Friday October 26
Chuck walked into the classroom, looking a little chipper. He set down his briefcase and looked at the students.
“Now, I imagine some of you are wondering why we didn’t have class last week. Well, there’s a very good reason, and I know you’ll agree with me when I tell you.” He raised his hand, ready to accentuate whatever he said with hand motions.
But Chuck put the hand down, and concluded: “I didn’t feel like teaching.” He went to the board. “That leads us to our topic of the day. Excuses, or “Covering your ass.”
Even the most skilled debater can sometimes slip up. In true battles, there are always casualties. This means that your pride will sometimes take severe blows. But just like in real war, you get everyone back if you win, so it won’t matter in the end at all.”
Today’s practical lesson will be practice for excuses. Fight with the techniques you’ve been using so far, and besmirch the name of your opponent. When something hits you hard, then cover your ass with a quick excuse. Make it creative, make it strong, make it work. Go!”

He also hoped that Jeff didn't. Because that would be funny.

Whether or not he was going to take the gift certificate thing seriously was really in the middle.
