I loved this little story. A man whose life has become so predictable, who finds so much comfort in routine, that the appearance of a pigeon minding it's own business is enough to throw his entire life into tumult. A rip in his trousers is enough to dent his sense of self. Laugh-out-loud funny and similarly sad.
