“Maybe you’re just narrow-minded.”
She said it bluntly, it was so blunt. So blunt.
Not that I minded, of course. The professor never minds.
But it did throw off my groove, if I’m completely honest.
Now, here’s the thing, you see: It’s not that I was insulted, it’s just that I wasn’t sure what to say.
Previously, the professor had been winning the war of words.
But the line she delivered was a sinker.
I had to act and act fast.
So, I said the only thing I could think of:
“What was that?”
She sighed, gave me a look of annoyance, put her hands on her hips, and said: “I SAID, if you think you’re always right, you’re probably a bit narrow-minded.”
And then the words I needed came to me in a gust of inspiration.

I was searching for a gif to put there and this is what popped up. I completely agree with this statement.
“Look here,” I began, “firstly first, I’m always right because if I wasn’t right for one split second, why then I’d be wrong, and if I was wrong, why then it would mean I wasn’t right, and how could that possibly be the case when we just all agreed that I was right when I’m right which is pretty much all the time?”
See what I did there? Lots of words. I must admit, I said nothing, but it sounded like I said something. Plus–ultra cool–I said that we all just agreed on what I said, which included her.
That caught her up nice and fluffy.
“But…but…” she said.
I said nothing. #professorwins
“But you might be narrow-minded, then.”
“Then we all probably are, since we all just agreed I’m usually right.”
Moral: If you’re ever not sure what to say, say it all and say it quick.
Give her time, Duketh. She will grow to like you.
But I think it works the opposite. They all grow to hate me, see.
Maybe they are just shy.
What’s a good indication if someone is shy?
Busyness and no eye contact, I’d say.
But being narrow-minded is a good thing. It means you know who you are as a man, and are not at all wishy-washy. The narrower the better, I say.
Ah, always with a different view. Walt, you genius, you’re a visionary. I could get behind that theory.
I totally need to put this in my back pocket #alwaysright
Exactly. Just don’t try it on me, please.
Professor, this story tells me you’re ready to run for political office! Saying a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing when strung together like beads, all the while making your listeners *think* what you’re saying is brilliant — yep, you’d get more votes than you know!!
lol I think you’re onto something there. Now, honest answer, Debbie, would you vote for the professor as president? *eye*
Truth? Depends, of course, on your stand on several key issues. I’ll let you guess which ones those might be! *nods head and snickers*
Okay, here goes…the right to have a cherry sucker at all times, the ability to have lizards run for office… Am I missing any? Those are key right there.
*gasps* How could she possibly think you’re narrow-minded?? Doesn’t she know you consider Kenny G to be an acceptable member of the human race?? How much more broad-minded could you possibly be than that?? You should never trust a hands-on-hipper!
PS I have some lovely haggis and neeps if you’d like to eat it for me. Thanks.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. But don’t all girls put their hands on their hips?
*puts hands on hips* No, they do not!
When they get angry, I mean…
Excellent lesson, Professor. Right is might
I have a few lessons I can teach right and proper.
I’m sure you can.
Like how to wash dishes for instance.
Leaving that nasty ring around the sink.
