The customer service representative was frantically cleaning up the salon when Jeff entered. He was perplexed by this odd gift: a most complicated pair of tweezers. Chris explained that the tweezers had all sorts of helpful gadgets that were, indeed, confusing. However, the key was using them for what they were intended: manscaping. As he demonstrated, Jeff recognized him. From camp years previous. Chris (Ricky) had been a camper at a personal hygiene camp where Jeff had worked as a counselor.
Old Tweezy (Jeff) had gathered the entire camp lakeside for quite a stunt. Ricky (Chris) was going to overcome his fear of lake swimming by leaping into the murky depths. But campers can be cruel. And they were to little Ricky. His fear of the muddy lake floor got the best of him and he clambered down from the tall jump deck for solace in Tweezy's kind words. But Old Tweezy himself was having a harrowing day. One of his best counselors was facing a tough prognosis at the doctor this afternoon.
Scott (Chris) visited Dr. Bennett (Jeff) after an urgent, 1 AM call to do so. Something was troubling about his recent test results, and Dr. Bennett meant to find out. Scott had experienced many symptoms recently: restlessness, exhaustion, confusion, hearing loss. Dr. Bennett ran a test with an Exaspirator and found a craft bead lodged in his throat. There could be no doubt: Scott need at least three days of rest and relaxation. Dr. Bennett suggested he go to "Oils Well that Ends Well," a lovely bed and breakfast on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mrs. Rosewater (Jeff) had always wanted to stay at the Oils Well that Ends Well B&B ever since her brother came back singing its praises. And this morning her host (Chris) made her a OJ-apple juice cocktail exactly as she requested. There were muffins and scrambled eggs and Spam...but crude oil, too...in unexpected places. Today was her last day on the rig. After she suited up and "tossed a chain," she'd be leaving via tugboat. Apparently the helicopter was down, and a three-day sea voyage back to Biloxi was her only option.
Jeremy (Chris) and Dave (Jeff) were putting the final touches on a oversized pair of tweezers on their first day at work. Jeremy worried that the new job might get monotonous, but Dave had other worries: it all reminded him of his troubled sister who was with the circus..."the circus IN HER MIND!" Jeremy listened patiently and encouraged Jeff to push through...to dedicate himself and his work to her memory.
Mrs. Rosewater hang-glided from the rig's deck to the tugboat far below.
Scott decided to visit Medieval Times instead.
Little Ricky overcame his fears and leapt into Lake Chiliwater.
And Jeff took his cool tweezers home...inspired to use them proudly.
