"Sexual experience aside," Damien said with a healthy dose of sarcasm, "what experience do you have with leading other people?"

Having seen the other speeches, Michael knew this guy was running, and he took his approach as an obvious sign that the guy was completely intimidated by his speech and was going to give up the nomination and vote for Michael instead. Which was good, because it was obvious from Damien's so-called qualifications that he a Corporate tool!

"Paper," Michael replied promptly. "And comedy. I~~~ am the fearless leader, A-K-A regional manager, A-K-A father, mother and best friend to the employees at Dunder-Mifflin Scranton and Dunder-Mifflin Hogsmeade. Every day, I lead the people in my office as they sell paper and crunch numbers. I send them the funniest e-mail forwards and links to hiLARious YouTube videos. For example, if I wasn't at Dunder-Mifflin, no one there would have ANY idea about 'What What (In the Butt).'"

And in case Damien hadn't been in the loop enough to have received that forward, Michael turned his back, jiggled his butt, and sang, "You want to do it my butt, in my butt, you want to do it my butt, in my butt, you want to do it my butt, in my butt...Let's do it in the butt...okAY!"

The demonstration over, he turned around to face Damien, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and simply concluded, "Leadership." QED!

Being the corporate tool that he was, Damien was appalled that anyone with that kind of behavior could have been promoted to anything beyond mail room clerk, much less regional manager. In fact, Damien would have fired any mail room clerk found forwarding a video like that. Or, really, just for doing that dance. There might have been death involved for doing a dance like that on company time.

"You must give your human resources department nightmares," he said flatly.

(( <3 I've missed playing him. And now I'm wishing we had a Toby, so Damien and Toby could be BFFs and Michael could despair their existences!))

"Ugh, BLAGGH!. Don't say the HR-word! They give me nightmares!" Michael gave another exaggerated gag. "Like, this one time, I had this dream that everyone in the office -- Ryan, Jim, Pam, Dwight, Phyllis, Meredith, Creed, Kelly...everybody...they all had become Toby, and they were all walking around going, 'Guys, you can't do that, because Corporate said so. Time for a boring lecture on office kitchen safety!' And even Stanley was Toby, but he was a black Toby, and Oscar was a gay Toby, and it was, like, the worst day of my life. BLAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"

Michael shook his head and hands as if traumatized and then doubled over and fake-threw-up onto Damien's feet.

Damien was tempted to really give Michael something to throw up, like most of his internal organs, but with death taken out of the equation it would just make a mess. There was the drive-them-to-insanity route, but with so little to work with, what was the point?

"Tell me, Mr. Scott, has anyone ever been injured while under your watch?" Not that it made a difference to Damien, but now that he'd hit such a pit of incompetence, he wanted to see how far it was to the bottom.

"Yeppers!" Michael replied promptly and proudly. "Me. George Foreman grill meets foot. Sizzling flesh results. And I kicked Dwight's ass at the dojo. I think both his thigh and his pride were injured. And my eyes were injured when Meredith flashed her saggy mommy boobs at me on Christmas. But I still took a picture, because it lasts longer. We also have lots of injuries at the warehouse."

He didn't mention running Meredith over with his car, although that probably was because, technically, he came to Hogwarts before that happened. Otherwise, it might have been a source of pride, since the incident had allowed him to start the good fight against rabies, that rabid secret people plague!

"And the reSULTS of all of those incidents are that nobody has died or sustained permanent damage." And that was all that mattered! "Well, except for Dwight's pride, maybe, but that's a good thing."
