Dealing With Idiots | Friday | Period 4 (Session 10)
Edmund: still not green.
Baldrick: Not here. Edmund paused for a few moments after the class had arrived to let them savour that fact before he addressed them.
"Today," he said, "We move on to the more challenging type of fool: the one you can't just insult to his face or hit with a large piece of bread, because he's got something over you. Perhaps he's your boss. Perhaps he's your mother -- I don't judge*. Perhaps he's holding a musket to your head, or perhaps he's just some ignorant peon you'd normally boot in the backside if he got in your way on the pavement, but he's on one side of a counter and you're on the other and you need that job."
He didn't tap his desk and look meaningfully over it at his students when he said counter. Please. Edmund Blackadder had more subtlety than that.
"We'll look at ways to deal with it in the coming weeks; today, I just want you to identify these people. In your life and the society in which you live, what sort of morons can you not afford to yonk off?"
He did eye several people this time. "If you're thinking that saying my teacher is the epitome of cleverness, save yourself some time and get out now."
* Such a lie.
