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.”
