fandomhigh | Win Friends and blah blah blah... Afternoon [8/8]

Dr. Cox is looking rather smug this morning as all the students come and take their seats.

"All right newbies, every once in a while a situation comes along where you need to handle it with kid gloves. So today's class is all about Let's take for an example an old patient of mine. Let's call him.... Bob. Bob hasn't been listening to his regular doctor about his heart and arteries and has somehow smuggled in a dozen White Castle sliders into his hospital room after having a quadruple bypass surgery. Your options are thus:"

Be *shudder* Nice
"Gee Mr. Geldoff I know those hamburgers are awfully tasty but perhaps we should go over your diet and see what we can do to make you healthy again. Okay Buddy?"

Be Direct
"Hey Bob? No offense but this eating habit of yours is going to send you to an early grave. You've ignored the warning signs even after having surgery and if you continue this practice it will have dire consequences"

Be Me
*sharp piercing whistle* "All right Bobbo, I'm only going to tell you this one more time so you better start using those flaps on the side of your head or so help me I'll rip them off and give them to my intern who could so use them. Did you really thing having White Castle after surgery was the brightest idea ever? Why didn't you just open a can of lard and start shoveling it into your face because it's having the same effect. You know the whole quadruple bypass isn't just a warning sign tubby, it's a freakin' billboard teetering over and about to crush you like an ant. So if it were me? I'd either start eating something green and stop trying to eat a heifer in one sitting. 'kay?"

Your assignment is to approach three different students using one of the methods above each for one or more of the following delicate situations:

1. Your significant other is a fish
2. Your significant other has a thing for bellboys
3. You have a booger hanging on the end of your nose
4. You have something in your teeth
5. That thing you had for lunch was tainted by E Coli
6. You have cancer
7. You have toilet paper stuck to the end of your shoe
8. You're bald. Everyone knows you are wearing a rug
9. You're a little pudgy.
10. Your fly is down and your fashionable underwear is showing

[OOC: ~~Wait for the~~ OCD is up!]

"I am not pudgy!" Except now he's sucking in his gut. "Those My Little Pony boxers are very becoming, Peter."

Still sucking in his gut so that last statement comes out very tightly.

"No, of course not, John," Peter replied. "Not really, just a bit around the edges. I'm telling you this as a friend of course." He looked down. "My Little Pony?"

John grumbles and sucks his gut in even further. He might look pained now.

"And yeah, My Little Pony. Your zipper's all the way down and your showing the class your love of the equine."

"Least I don't wear a bad toupee," Peter pointed out, trying to restrain his hands from checking the equine situation.

"Real hair, buddy!" And he tugs on his hair just to prove it. Probably not good that he tugs too hard and hair actually does end up in his hand.

"See? It even falls right out," Peter shook his head sadly. "If you were going to get a hairpiece, John, at least pay for the good ones."

John flails for a good comeback. He has nothing.

So he flails at Peter and makes faces. He's good, that John.

Peter grinned at John's faces. "Are you going to be a mime when you grow up?"

"It's better than being a...horse manure picker upper."

Okay, even John's groaning at that.

And Peter found that funnier than he probably should have. Laughing, he said, "I'll tell Tyler you said that about him."

John scowls again. "When'd you learn to be so good at this?"

Peter shrugged then grinned. "Court really. One gets used to hearing what one doesn't want to and not reacting."

Win Friends and blah blah blah... Afternoon [8/8]
