ㅤㅤㅤ"Oh hey, Kevin," Michael began condescendingly. "Nice of you to join us, where were you?"

"I busted a tire on the way here," he replied, dazed. "I almost died."

"That's lovely. Anyway, today's a special day because I am being honoured as a visiting professor."

Rachel hid her laughter in a sneeze.

"Bless you, Rachel. Hey, did you know I'm visiting Ryan's class as a special lecturer?"

She threw an incredulous look to Ryan, standing beside the cabinet. He returned a look that said don't look at me like that.

"Tell me, Professor Scott, what is one very important lesson you've taught your students?" she teased.

"Dwight?"

"Don't be an idiot. Changed my life," he shrugged.

Rachel raised a disbelieving brow to the cameras, but did not dispute his claim.

"Alright, then, it's time to go!" Michael happily announced, awaiting a standing ovation from his office. But no one really did.

Nonetheless, he happily waltzed out of the door, eager for his very special day, followed by a reluctant Ryan, who was eager for the day to end.

Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, "Would an idiot do that?" And if they would, I do not do that thing.

"And without further ado," Ryan said tiredly, "I present the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin, Scranton, Michael Scott."

As Michael walked down the aisle of students, CD player in stow, the students fell absolutely silent. Simultaneously stunned by Ryan's abusive introduction to the company and the lengths that his crazy boss was going, they weren't entirely sure what to expect.

"Hello everyone, I am Michael Scott," he read from his cue cards. "I'm gonna start today by inspiring you. May I borrow someone's textbook, please?"

Without affirmation, he took the closest book. "Economics. Very, very interesting."

Much to the students' horror, Michael ripped the delicate pages from the textbook. Ryan buried his face in his hands, avoiding the angry glares of his classmates and professor.

"Replace these pages with life lessons, and then, you will have a book that is worth its weight in gold."

"Animal stool," Rachel heard from behind her desk.

In another instant, Dwight had leapt onto the reception, a torch and mirror in the ceiling tiles. "There's a bird that is trapped in a vent."

Rachel rose from her seat, trying to put as much distance between her and the animal in the vent.
