Audience problems

Some time ago, a young man from MGIMO called - asked about my meeting with students. Type lecture, questions-fasteners ... such as "thaw".

Set a date.

Two days before the date, the young man called again: the meeting is canceled. They learned about the upcoming event upstairs and ... - here FIG you will guess the wording! I quote literally, citing a young man: "Shenderovich is an too significant figure, we do not have a suitable audience."

A? Which class! This is not a flowing ceiling of Valentina Ioannovna from St. Petersburg ... Subtlety diplomatic, selected condition! That is, they actually sent me to X ..., and I go for the second day, I am proud.

Moreover, pay attention to the word "audience" - what a game of meanings! Either they have no room for me, or listeners ... a high class, except jokes.

However, according to the official version, the meeting was postponed to September. It must be understood that by the new academic year, Mgimo will have time to prepare for a worthy meeting of such a significant figure as me. It will repair the building, pick up the wormers ...

And then - you know me ... God forbid, I will not like the audience! I will disperse the institute.
