How Do You Like Your Brain: Scrambled or Fried?



While sitting in class on Friday, I heard a noise that radiated throughout my entire body. At first I was really concerned and I was debating whether or not I should ask my friend next to me if they had heard it to. But, after careful consideration, the idea of telling anyone what I heard would only have ended in mocking and a laughter that could be heard around campus. Then, suddenly I heard it again. I knew that it wasn't my stomach, although I was kind of hungry. Suddenly, the smell came! I knew this smell; it was almost like the smell of decadent bacon, with a side of delicious sausage, thrown together with a mouthwatering plate of hash browns. MMM, Breakfast! But, why am I the only one smelling this? And where was it coming from? Then, it hit me, something wasn’t right; there was a sizzling sound really close to my ear. I looked around and touched my head in wonder, when all of the sudden it hit me, my head was on fire. My brain was frying and a voice came over the sound and said, “How would you like it, scrambled or fried?” The tone resembled an old, raspy, smoker woman’s voice and all I could see was an old waitress standing in front of me chewing her gum and tapping her pen. No wonder nothing made sense, my brain is cooking while the rest of the class is dozing, I'm frying. Between the Chemistry, and Biology, Bible and Western Civilization, my mind was speeding out of control and it finally crashed. The voice came again, “Well?” I replied with a polite smile, “Fried, with a slightly gooey center! I would like to mix it with my hash browns.” When the class turned to look, I just giggled and said, “I am hungry! Sorry professor!” and continued my notes. So next time you are stressing about a test, don’t worry and just ask yourself, “scrambled or fried,” that way you laugh and the worries of college will just sizzle away.
