Difficult and dangerous people

This is a castor oil plant which apparently contains the toxin ricin in its seeds. I thought it was appropriate for today as I've had training on dealing with dangerous and difficult people. It was amazing training in which the trainer acted out several real life situations. He was very scary. At one point he held a real knife to my throat and at other times I was crying with laughter.
A day well spent. Apparently vicars have to deal with a lot of this stuff. What have I let myself in for?
