from the Vice-Charmseller:

He Knows About Vice!

Dear Charmseller,

Why is it that when I turn on the tap in my Hall room the water - or liquid - which comes out is orange?

This luxury is brought to you at no small personal expense - on your account, not mine. Orange water, being coloured, is more expensive to buy than clear water. We negotiated special rates with our supplier, Smellmore Sewage, so you could enjoy the health-giving properties of orange water. It's full of vitamin C, you know.
Orange water can't be bought for love or money in most unversities -it's practically unique to Rending. So enjoy it while you can.

Are you in favour of replacing free tuition with something else which will be worse?

I'll tell you that when I've worked out whether I'll have a better take-out pay.

Isn't that supposed to be take-home pay?

Oh no, that would be a salary. No tills here at Rending: I just take money out. Take-out pay.

The Charmseller will take off his clothes and dance about naked next month Only we won't have a camera handy. He will put his clothes back on and answer some more questions from you twelve hours later when he's feeling more himself and less someone else.
