A walk worth what?

yeah, the title  is basically an inside joke among the writers and producers of the show.  Once upon a cold ass day some guy had to go to a meeting to talk about this new musical in the works. He was all excited when he woke up but the shower had no hot water. Damn. But thats okay. Down to breakfast he went, he reached into the frindge to find…..nothing. His partner did not buy food last night. Thats okay, he’ll just have coffee his thought, to his surprise his 5 year old son filled the coffee maker with dirt just to play. Well there goes his moring coffee. Off to the meeting. Out the door and right into a puddle wetting his left shoe. No time to change. A brisk walk to the metro to find it was not in service because some dumb kids thought it would be funny to set off stinky gas bombs in five different stations at the same time. Out to the street he went, rushing on his way…rushing so rushed that he dropped his cell phone, his notebook, and newspaper all at the same time while stepping into dog poo with his right foot to keep from slipping from trying to catch his cell phone that fell into the street just as a tram hurls by at 50 mph crushing his new blackberry. The notebook was fine save for fact  that it landed in a puddle of urine pissed only hours earlier by two drunk bastards leaving a bar. The newpaper was blown into the wind by the speed of the tram Great, so now armed with a wet left shoe, a shit smeared right shoe, a broken beyond repair cell phone, a urine drenched notebook and no newspaper, the hungry coffee deprived man continued his walk.  Without the metro the walk was long so the man decided to ride the tram to shorten the journey. Luckly the tram he wanted  number 3 was just arriving, and he got on happily, thinking at lest he wont be late, What he didnt realize the tram was accually number 8. The man had just recently gotten a new prescription for his glasses. Little did he know his 3 yr old daughter had woken up early that morning and took his new pair of glasses to dress up her teddy bear to look like daddy. She also took his expensive blue silk tie and dipped it in finger paint to make it pretty, but that was of no importance today since he did not know. Anyway he had grabbed a pair of glasses of his dresser, not knowing they were the old ones, so at that moment the number 8 looked like a 3 espcially with the glare of the sun. So there he was confident in his seat looking through his note book not realizing he was going in the wrong direction. A few minutes pass, a man bumps into him, and pulls something out of his pocket, a badge, oh yes his tram ticket. Uh in all the confusion he simply forgot to purchase one,  WEll, he thought what an embarassing mistake. He made to pull out his wallet to his surpise it was not in his pocket. during his mishap with the phone and the shit and the urine some little kid took the oportunity to pickpocket. He had just made a large withdrawl last night. It was that kids lucky day. So the man was fined 500 crowns on the spot, thrown off the tram, and was surprised to find he was lost. With  wet shoe, an shit smeared shoe, a broken beyond repair cell phone, a urine drenched notebook, a pair of bad glasses, and no money  the starving man set off to find his way. I will not recount the rest of his misfourtune as it is long an tedious, however when he did finally arrive at his destination there was a sign on the door which read “Meeting posponed until tomorrow, Have a nice day”      “Well” he said    “That was a walk worthwhile”……..
