The Dean

The New Man and the Vice-Boss have meeting with Dean in Vice-Boss's office. The Contessa and I try to listen in, method of shushing each other and straining ears, decidedly not successful. What do you think they are saying? The Contessa repeats more than once. Answer very clear to her that I don't know, so don't answer. Feel desperate, gnawing curiosity. Have impulse to use plastic water glass as listening device, but image forms in head of door opening and being discovered in compromising position. Mere seconds later, door opens. Congratulate self on foresight. The Contessa and I invited into office. Experience all too familiar feeling of regretting that which I've wished for. The Dean given to wearing silk suits, Prada shoes, and Cologne. Very, very strange to see such a creature holding the Fart Machine in hand. Experience not made less strange by unfortunate use of word Buzzer, as in, Is it true that the Buzzer was used in a staff meeting? We both say yes. Do not add that machine has been used in many staff meeting, not to mention in the hallway and one, very upsetting time, in the elevator. The Contessa and I are then ejected from office. Feel extreme relief. Minutes later, Go back to wishing that in proverbial Loop.
