A routing disaster was narrowly averted today in North Egg, when her kindly westerly neighbor came to her aid – MacGyver style. Context: Distracted by a whirl of jacket mechanicals, North Egg had absent-mindedly allowed her identification card to fall from her desk to the impenetrably small space between the desk and the city barricade (ie: cubicle partition). Without said identification card, one is unable to move about the building, rendering one’s
glorified messenger tasks moot. However!... In a flash, our westerly neighbor was on the scene, proving his prowess for resourcefulness (indeed, the most impressive of Angus MacGyver’s traits) with a unusually large metal slab. With said slab, our kind westerly neighbor was able to extract not only the mislaid identification card, but also several sheets of papers, one thumb tack, and approximately half a dozen dust bunnies. Well done, westerly neighbor. Richard Dean Anderson would be proud.
All in a day's work. Now I shall go brush my mullet.
ReplyDeleteAlso: westerly neighbor? I realize West Egg is taken in historical context, but can I get something?
