    I stayed in Mattoon one night and a man with a bloody pitch fork stood outside my door all night, in the morning when I went to the breakfast bar I asked him as he swung a dead bat over his head, "hey buddy can I bring you something back" he smiled and said, "anything kosher will do thanks". I got him a bagel but he was gone when I returned.
