15. The Laddernest

Back in my room, I turn on the radio and listen to the classified ads. The voice says, "There is a space available for a laddernest at Hatchhouse Inc."

"Hey!" I say, "that's what I am!"

So I shave and put on some clean clothes and catch a bus and head downtown. When I arrive at Hatchhouse Inc. I tell the receptionist that I'm interested in the opening available for a lad earnest.

"I'm sorry sir," she replies, "but the laddernest space has been filled."
