Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!

Incompetent

"I am surrounded by incompetents!" the bad guy yelled as the hero thwarted yet another trap and slaughtered another fifty henchmen. "You are all so incompetent—Someone get me a thesaurus!"

"I don't think we have any reference books here," one of the henchman whispered.

"Incompetence!" the bad guy said again.

"I have a pocket dictionary," another henchman offered, "it includes some synonyms."

The bad guy straightened up, "I want you all to notice Henchman Number—"

"Thirty-seven."

"—Thirty-seven. He is very un- . . . incompetent," the bad guy flipped open the dictionary, "'Amateur!' That's a good one. You guys are amateur . . . and incompetent."
