Chapter 5
One not so very fine day, Anger man was sitting within the confines of the room at the very top of the tallest tower, as remote from humanity as it is possible to imagine. And what goes on inside that room is rarely spoken about for the fear it will invoke in the listeners. Yes, Anger man had found himself trapped in S9, that fearsome room with Barbie dolls at every turn, and in which you can never feel safe from the formulas that perch on the perimeters, waiting to ambush you when first the opportunity arises.
And within this room reside some terrifying creatures; it is not known for certain whether they are man or monster, but rumours abound of the horror they enjoying inflicting on what they like to refer to as “the students”.
So on this day, as Anger man found himself within this chamber of horror, with no hope of escape for at least 50 minutes, Obvious boy turned to him and spoke:
“Anger man, we’re in the physics classroom for our physics lesson”
Anger man was…. somewhat unimpressed…with the way in which Obvious Boy destroyed the mood of the story. But he wasn’t angry. He wasn’t at all an angry man.
It was at this time they noticed the antics of their teacher. Angry man was slightly amused, and Obvious Boy once again spoke up:
“Look Anger Man, our teacher has filled up a syringe with water and is squirting everybody as they walk in the door. He’s squirting them with water.”
Anger Man was in the middle of thanking Obvious Boy for explaining this for him (and he wasn’t being sarcastic at all - of course not, because surely that’s a form of expressing anger - and he was not an angry man) when Obvious Boy interrupted him again.
“Look Anger Man, he has really bad aim and is getting the classroom all wet”
Anger Man sat there - and wasn't angry.
Not at all.
And he continued to sit there as the remainder of the so-called “students” managed to display their complete and utter ignorance of the topic. He sat there, not being angry as they managed to draw out every point until it had been explained numerous times. (Note from Obvious Boy: In this context, ‘numerous’ means many)
And so he sat.
And sat.
Not learning anything.
But he was not angry - for he is not an angry man.
And the gashes made throughout his notebook by the ruler he held within his hand are testimony to how not angry he was.
For he was not angry.
Not at all.
He is not an angry man.
And that is the story of......
Anger Man and S9
