Important meeting

[alan]

So I'm in this important meeting with the new Professor when my door crashes open and a technician bursts in.
Do you want a newt? he cries, producing a bucket of pondwater.
I look to see if the new Prof has clocked him.
She has.
Exit technician, leaving one T.vulgaris.
Oh dear, my fame has spread.

 

[ralf]

Bad newts travel fast. Welcome to the club.

I hoped she might not notice because he's my newt.

Alan, that sounded like one of the best meetings in the world!
