6th footnote [text] target practice

[likesfootnotes]

I have a couple of suggestions for the would-be marksmen fervently preparing for the upcoming tournament:

1. Magicians are widely considered to be the best choice for target practice. Unfit and unfashionable, they can be seen at a thousand paces in their gaudy attire and offer a moving target. ¹ I suggest saving a target and using a magician!
   
   
2. Don't bother entering the actual contest. Instead, list your wishes here and I might deign to grant them once I've been declared Lord for a day.

1 - Don't worry about one outrunning your shot. Magicians are too fond of their food to be anything but slow and rotund. The majority of them mask this by wearing cleverly designed pants that are thirteen sizes too small and somehow conceal all that extra flesh. It's not a pleasant sight.

[The reaction is somewhat of a surprise, but not something he is unfamiliar with as it were. The mocking clapping, when Jetfire answers, clearly doesn't affect him at all.]

All beings are individuals, I do not think it unreasonable to point out and argue this fact when you seem disinclined to respect it.

Pyramids? [Brief, not-quite-a-second's pause.] I'm quite aware that there are structures in general on my planet, and, I assume, on Earth as well, that could be termed 'pyramids', so why would I deny their existence?

[Jetfire doesn't sound as confused as Bartimaneus comment made him, merely more mildly curious than anything... But he hadn't been on Earth for long enough to have time to to be able to now realize they were probably talking of particular pyramids.]
