The Art of BS [Thursday, January 8, 2015]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh, dressed in a navy blue suit with a light blue tie, was up at the front of the room leaning casually against his desk. "Hello everyone, and welcome to the Art of BS, which as far as classes being taught this semester is probably the second most useful after how to adult correctly."

Because really, who needs ethics. Josh worked in politics.

"As it is the first day of class, introductions are standard, but I want to see what level of natural bullshitting ability I'm working with, so your job today is to introduce everyone else. All you'll have to work with is their name and what they're wearing. Make up a plausible backstory for as many of your fellow students as you'd like. I'll also be playing along, to show you how professional-grade BS looks. I'm Josh Lyman, and I've worked for two presidents as well as several members of Congress, so believe me when I tell you I can bullshit with the best of them."

He pointed at random. "You. Skippy. Give us your name, then find another student to introduce to us all."

Johnny was dressed like normal today. Short sleeved shirt, jeans, and cocky grin on his face at all times. It was his favorite accessory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Johnathan K. Storm! He's a junior from New York City, one of the best dancers this side of the Rockies, and has a voice like an angel -- and yet, no Broadway credits to his name, at least not yet. When he's not busy entertaining the ladies, he likes riding his motorcycle through the mountains. And he's just taken up Tae Kwon Do, but only because the yoga class was full."
