At the Cosi I regularly go to break at, there's a guy who I have affectionately named 'Derrick the Clumsy Bagel Guy'. He has been given this name because, well, he's clumsy. Cream cheese is slopped onto bagels, trays are dropped, spreaders slip through his fingers and land on the floor, and boxes are tripped over. Only this morning he dropped several bowls of cream cheese into one another, tried to stop them, and sent a gloved hand flying into the cream cheese. Needless to say, he had to change the glove. More than anything I'm simply amused by this. It's as if Derrick were trying to reinact some hypothetical movie from 1963 in which Jerry Lewis played a bagel maker. "Laaady! With the cream cheese! And the spreading! And the heeey!"
