The Walk and Talk

We are coming down to our last Whitecastle stories.  Soon, the Whitecastles and Prof Papas of today will be replaced by kinder, gentler advisers of B'more*.

(I walk into Whitecastle's office for a scheduled meeting today)

Moi: Is this a good time?

Whitecastle: Well, I need a cup of coffee, so you'll have to follow me to the kitchen.**

Moi: Just like an episode of the West Wing.  This is so exciting!

Whitecastle: Which characters are we?

Moi:...

Whitecastle: It was a trick question.  Don't answer it.

*Sure, every professor/mentor I've had and respected since the Bo' has been abusive, but I can dream, can't I?

**Completely unnecessary.  I could have just come back in a minute.
