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

Bel eyed the list warily. He had a feeling someone could end up on the business end of a fireball today.

Zack wondered who he should approach today.

Looking at the list, Aeryn's actually really confident in this one. Really, it isn't like she has any experience telling people things they need to hear. None.

Apparently wishing for death today, Zack headed towards Aeryn. "Hey, Aeryn."

"Hello," she says, and because sometimes she should be smacked, she says, "Did you need something?"

Zack decided to try for the delicate approach. "You have a good weekend? Turn into anyone else?"

Bel decided to try the direct approach. No sense dancing around it.

"You have toilet paper stuck to the end of your shoe," he said to Zack.

"No," she says, shaking her head. "Did you?"

"I do?" Zack glanced at his shoe and shrugged. "Least it's a better look than that toupee."

"Alanna," Zack replied. "And boy was that embarrassing."

"Why was it embarrassing?" Aeryn, be nice.

"Alanna was...intrigued by...certain differences." Zack totally wasn't blushing, really. "Of course I suppose there are more embarrasing things."
demonbelthazor: (Huh?)

[personal profile] demonbelthazor 2006-08-08 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Excuse me?" Bel said, raising an eyebrow.
demonbelthazor: (Contemplative)

Bel didn't know Aeryn at all, so he opted for the nice approach. "Hey," he said, walking up to her.

"Bel, whoever told you it was lifelike sold you a lemon," Zack said. "Well, I suppose rug would be more accurate."
