It Takes a Cool Hand to Boil an Egg
|
The given address is apparently in the middle of a commercial block. At first the area seems empty, but then you locate a lone figure halfway down the block. He appears to be staggering in circles around a parking meter. On closer inspection you see that he's holding some kind of saw, and very ineffectively trying to cut the top off of the meter, one slow rotation at a time.
It's obvious the man is pretty drunk, and at first you fear there's going to be a complete failure to communicate, but when you gently take the saw away and push him in the direction of home, he goes willingly enough. The last thing you hear as he walks away is, "I'm gonna go make some eggs. I can eat a lot of eggs."
