The world according to the Hutt - part 8

During the massive argument Spoof laid out a lot of complaints. "You treat Speck and I differently than you treat your favorites," said Spoof.

"Untrue," proclaimed the Hutt. "Name one time I treated anyone differently."

"How about the time you took away our scissors. But Opie was still allowed to cut upstairs. At the main desk even. And when you gave our scissors back you told us we had to clean up everything the second we were done cutting. Do you remember that."

"Yes," said the Hutt. "I was in a bad mood that summer."

"Which is crazy," said Spoof. "You made a stupid rule because you were pissed. But what I'd like to point out is how many times the clones have left messes this summer. The space where they work is an absolute sty all of the time. They leave cut up paper, scissors, pens, and trash all over. And you never say anything."

"Oh, well, they're just summer staff," said the Hutt.

"That's no excuse. They're adults. They know how to keep a space tidy. And it's not their first summer here. They know how their space should look. Why don't you ever say anything to them?"

"They're just summer staff," repeated the Hutt.

It takes a great deal of restraint on our parts not to attack the Hutt. A great deal.

Hutt rule #8 - Messes left by summer staff are not a problem. Messes left by Spoof and Speck are punishable by death.
