"Afternoon, folks," Josh said, grinning. "I heard you had a totally groovy time over vacation, which makes my decision to stay in DC and turn into a Joshsicle much smarter. One of the keys to successfully BSing your way through life is the ability to react quickly and ad-lib in a situation without coming across like an idiot."

He sighed and pressed play on the DVD set-up in front of the class. "It's not as easy as you think," he said, "which I learned to my sorrow here, in front of a room of reporters with cameras."

They all watched Josh implode as he watched and shook his head ruefully. "So yeah, idiocy happens to the best of us," he said. "Today, you have to give a quick speech and use the words 'groovy', 'Jello', 'disco' and 'macrame' without sounding like a jackass." He grinned. "Good luck. Don't come up with any secret plans to fight inflation, okay?"

Travis actually went for a speech on the benefits of exercise and how it might help the health and well being of the nation's people. He actually found it easy to use every single word except macrame so he just threw that in there at the end like it was some awesome verb.

Oh well.
