It was on a few channels on TV. A formal congressional hearing. Chainsaw Chicken sat at the witness table. Members of the press are visible in the background. It was a serious atmosphere.

A little known congressman kept badgering Chainsaw and continued, “Mr. Chainsaw… since you always claim the Fifth, what color is the carpet right in front of you?”

Chainsaw replied with a touch of sarcasm, “About the same color as I saw in your mother’s bedroom.”

The hearing room falls silent for a beat. A few people suppressed laughter while others stare in disbelief. Chainsaw remained perfectly calm, as if he just gave the most ordinary answer in the world.

Coverage suddenly ended.
