Plus We Have a Motorcade [Thursday, February 13, 2014, 1st period]
Josh was about to open his mouth when a familiar voice began singing: "Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, a thingie made of clay--" complete with a clanging bell.
Josh stared at the...nothing that was there. "Wow, talk about the wrong holiday. Also, hugely tonedeaf."
If anyone else noticed it sounded like the voice of a certain Dean of Students, well...Josh wasn't going to stop them.
"Right. One of the many, many benefits of being stupidly stinking rich is that if you give a presidential candidate enough money during a campaign, he or she might appoint you to be the ambassador to some totally awesome country like England, France, or the Bahamas," Josh said. "The problem is that the Senate approves ambassadorial appointments and they will ask you important questions like 'Have you ever been there in your entire life?' and 'Can you find it on a map?' These are questions that you should, frankly, know the answers to."
He pointed to a student. "Right then. Give me a country you'd want to be the ambassador to if you had a gazillion dollars and three questions you think they'd ask you about it."

Be an Ambassador!
Let's skip straight past the "You're not even from here, what the hell" question.
Re: Be an Ambassador!
Okay, maybe she had picked questions she knew the answers to, but she liked showing off.
"The national language is Irish, which I don't speak, but neither do a majority of its people; most speak English as a default. The capital city is Dublin, and Ireland is important for its many great novelists, poets, and musicians."
Re: Be an Ambassador!
"They might ask me 'Are you going to sit on the beach and drink margaritas all day instead of doing any work?', and I would, of course, lie and say no. Can I find it on a map? Sure, it's somewhere between Japan and Hawaii. If I point to a spot, is a Senator really going to know enough to tell me I'm wrong? And they might ask me how I'd communicate, in which case I'd point out that a lot of 'em speak English, from it being a part of the USA for so long, and for those that don't, /I'm just naturally gifted/."
That last bit was in fluent Marshallese -- although if you were paying attention you'd notice that he was whispering the words in English while the translation came from his wrist.
