Should he really be able to talk on the PA system?

Work Story's # 7

The following story takes place during last year's Phoenix Suns Basketball season.

He was supposed to get on the PA to announce a VERY important announcement.  After the student council kids had done the flag salute, and made their morning announcements, he got on the PA system and immediately started talking about how he was so excited that the Phoenix Suns had won the basketball game the night before and how they had come back in the fourth quarter.... blah, blah, blah.  I sat in my office, listening over the PA, nodding my head in disbelief, as minutes passed, and he was STILL talking about basketball--- and OVER THE PA!  Who does that?!  Oh, and PS, he never even touched the "important announcement."  I had to get on the PA after him to say it.

My internal monologue at the moment:  Note to self-- DO NOT ASK him to make important announcements over the PA unless the announcements have to do with the Cardinals or the Suns!
