Tod handed him some coffee, "Thanks, Tod."
24 HOURS EARLIER: Tod Od was an odd man. He would walk down the hallways of his office and everyone would say, "Look at that odd man, I wonder where he's going?" They would watch and wonder and occasionally even ask him. "I'm going to work." he would say and he meant it, because if there was one thing about Tod Od it's that he did not consider himself odd. "My name should be Tod Normal." He would say to his pet raccoon.
One day, however, Tod realized he was in fact odd. He realized this when he met Joe, who works in his office, for the first time. Tod asked Joe what he did there and Joe said he was a salesman, Tod asked what kind and Joe replied "Printer". Now what troubled Tod is that Tod had worked in the same cubicle block as Joe for 15 years but while Joe had apparently been selling printers Tod had been slowly assembling a machine of some sort one piece a day one piece at a time and not selling printers. This troubled Tod so much that he asked Sue and Bill and Tina and Jill the same question and they too responded with printer-related answers.
Now this made Tod ask himself a tough question: could I be odd? Tod had no choice but to confront his boss about the matter. "But I can't do that" Tod thought "that boss of mine is odd and he always lies." Tod knew the only thing he could do would be to slip some truth serum in his coffee, then Tod'd get to the bottom of this. So Tod asked his boss if he could come in and Tod said yes and Tod handed him some coffee, "Thanks, Tod."
Tod began to tell the truth about all kinds of things, like that he was talking to himself in the bathroom mirror, that he'd never worked there he just wandered in one day with a clipboard and most of all that he was in fact odd.
