Assault by Seafood
If you could meet any famous personality, living or dead, and smack them in the head with a large trout, who would it be?
Now there is a novel weapon! A means by which to humiliate without doing any irreparable damage. Unless, of course, you happen to be the trout.
I imagine there's any number of famous personages that would qualify for such an assault. Did you know that many cultures consider fish oil to enhance cerebral activities? Literally food for thought. That being the case, I'd readily use a trout or a gumblejack or Moby Dick himself on Cardinal Borusa if it meant instilling some wisdom in the process. He wasn't the most likeable professor at the Academy, but I truly believe he had the best interests of Gallifrey - if not his students - at hearts. I can only surmise that something went seriously wrong during his last regeneration. Unfortunately, there is a sad truth to Lord Acton's words that power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Borusa I knew would never have wanted to be Lord High President indefinitely. But then, I could never have imagined that Borusa would rival the Master for megalomania. Unthinkable, but all too terrible a reality.
