How to Make Friends and Influence People [Tuesday, April 22, 2014]

If you thought you were getting out of Anakin Kriffing Skywalker's class without an examination, you were sadly, sadly mistaken. "There are four essay questions," he said, passing out the papers, "and then one practical examination question. Please don't hurt yourself too badly. I don't want to have to explain it to your parents, and the paperwork for this sort of thing is completely ridiculous."

He glanced up when he was finished passing everything out. "You have been an adequate group of students when you bother to listen. You will probably not die horribly."

...and thank you, Anakin.

Do they just not have a language dictionary online, or has ALL of our tech malfunctioned? If it's the former, I can't imagine NOT having asked the droid to create at least a minimal dictionary in the standard format before we arrived. If it's the latter, then rude hand gestures are the LEAST of our worries.

If we really are just screwed, language-wise, I'd very humbly and ashamedly walk away from them, and try to either find whatever passes for bathrooms on their world (which there might not be) or else find a private corner and a bottle with a screw-top lid.
