Chuck entered the classroom at least five minutes after the bell had rung. Seriously, why didn’t the administration stop such blatant disregard of rules?

“Okay, class. Today we’re working with Illicit Conversions. No, we’re not talking about unlawful sex changes or the process of turning harmless chemicals into drugs.” He picked up a piece of chalk, and over his shoulder added, “you should all be ashamed of yourselves for those drugs, by the way.”

He started writing notes on the board. “The argument follows these structures:
All A are B.
Therefore, all B are A.

Not all A are B.
Therefore, not all B are A.

Example: All gremlins are monsters.
Therefore, all monsters are gremlins.

Example: All Jim Halpert does is cause trouble.
Therefore, all trouble is caused by Jim Halpert.”

“Jim’s obvious fault for causing the world’s woes aside, I think you’ll get the picture. Try to work these into your speech without saying them directly; because they’re easier to shoot down like that.”

He gave a nod. “Now!”

...with an illicit conversion of your own.

All Jim Halperts are signing in, therefore all who sign in are Jim Halpert.

All Willow Rosenbergs like smooching Peter Pevensie, therefore all Peter Pevensie smoochers are Willow Rosenberg. OR THEY'D DAMN WELL BETTER BE.

Jeff Murdock is nervous.

There is no conversion possible. It simply is.

Not all pyrokinetics are Charlie McGee. Therefore, Charlie McGee is not pyrokinetic.

*foosh* of argument igniting

Ronan Nolan is a wizard, thus all wizards are Ronan Nolan.

All Naminés have cats.
Therefore, all cats belong to Naminé.

Please turn them over immediately.

All Valentines are very important men. Therefore, all very important men are Valentine.

Everyone else who claims to be is simply a poseur and should cease immediately.

Pass notes, take some, question authority.

When Noblet got to a certain part in the lecture, Jim made an amused-looking funny face. Big shock, coming from Jim.

Pick a topic and demonstrate your skills.

Or lack thereof.

The apparently world leader in trouble sat back and waited for a partner. As he did so, he wondered why he had been singled out. You know, aside from the day he dressed like Noblet. And the bathroom thing. And all the other times he blatantly questioned Noblet's authority.

Oh. That would explain it.

"You seem remarkably relaxed for someone with so little free time," Willow said.

"So little free time?" Jim asked. "I don't follow."

"What with being the cause of all problems in the world," Willow said. "The hours you must spend making sure clicky pens are retracted so that when people go to write they feel that horrible scraping noise that, let's face it, can only be cured by death - well the mind boggles. To say nothing of your efforts in making cupcakes go stale."

"Oh, that. I'm very good at delegating," Jim said. "I'm the head troublemaker but I have a bunch of mischief elves running around doing the hard work."

"Very smart," Willow said, with appreciation. "Do they have to punch a time clock of some kind or is it assumed that they'd only break it?"

"We learned that one the hard way," Jim said. "Now they just punch each other. They were doing that before but now we use that as the official start to the day."

"Oo - do you think that would work with football?" Willow asked. "Or would John get cranky if I encouraged you all to punch his team?"

"He did mention to me one time that he might encourage Chad to punch me," Jim said. "I think he was joking, but I don't see why we should stand for that."

"I absolutely will not!" Willow said. "If Chad tries that, I'll kick him."

"That'll make things more fun," Jim said with a grin. He could just picture Willow trying to take down Chad. It would be well worth the price of admission just to see Chad's face.

"I protect my team," Willow said, with a smug and solemn nod.

"It's appreciated," Jim said. "It's what makes you a great manager."

"Why thank you," Willow said. "For that you can have an extra vitamin water."

"Thank you," Jim said. "I think it's clear that we both win this debate."

"We won this debate, therefore all winners of this debate are us," Willow said, with a far too amused smile at her joke.

"Well done," Jim said.

"Why thank you," Willow said.

He's still here.
