The Bum's Dilemma
While sneaking through the alley, you are approached by a hobo begging for meat.
"Please, adventurer, could you spare me some meat? I only have 30,000 and need 20,000 more." he begs.
"Ah, but today is opposite day," you say. "That means you should be giving me meat."
"You didn't say it was opposite day!" the hobo huffs.
"I declared it oppositively by not declaring it." You reply. "Now fork it over."
The hobo grumbles and whines, but forks over some meat. He keeps the fork, though.
 | You gain 8 Meat. |
Occurred at The Sleazy Back Alley (Retired).
References
- The hobo is likely trying to buy a store in the Mall, which costs 50,000 meat.
- The opposite day part of this adventure likely refers to an old "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip, where Hobbes pulls a trick on Calvin during a game of Calvinball, saying he touched the opposite pole. When Calvin says he didn't hear him declare it, Hobbes replies, "I declared it oppositely by NOT declaring it."
