Wanted #1... John Naiker

Wanted: 2nd year teacher to teach an asylum of children. Must be as mad as our clients. Complete and utter abolition of memory at day end a necessity. Deranged flashbacks of moments of lunacy may occur but should not be the norm. If grudges, vendettas and resentments are not washed away by the rolling tide of enlightened amnesia, imminent and irreparable insanity will take root.

Clients, while mad, are still cunning. Friendships may be forged but may well reveal themselves to be shackles rather than cuff links.

Teacher will have to apologise often. Both to clients and self and God.

Sickness  of body is acceptable, sickness of mind is not.

Preparation of temporary bouts of lucidity (aka teaching) an explicit requirement. Preparation of preparation an implicit requirement.

Teacher will need to know what he is talking about. This appears trivial, but it is not.


Please apply to the spirit of Classroom 14. Attach recent photo of self and R 500 personal burial money.
