Ch. 3: June 21. Pee on Earth Day
Jess got back to Philly three days later (June 21st), and parked his car outside Truncheon Books.
He walked to the front of the store to find his roommates, along with a couple of store regulars peeing in the bushes.
"You know, we have working bathrooms," Jess pointed out slowly.
"June 21st!" Matt cried jubilantly. "Happy Pee on Earth Day, Buddy!"
Jess rolled his eyes. "Just as long as it isn't 'Pee on the Merchandise Day.'"
"That's tomorrow," Chris grinned.
"Of course," Jess nodded. "How could I forget…" he glanced at a young man his age with bleached hair and safety pins sticking out of his jeans and t-shirt. He was one of the regulars in the store. "Garreth, how long have you been peeing?"
"Ten minutes, man!" Garreth cried! He stuck out his pierced tongue. "I'm going for a record!"
"And on that note," Jess muttered, turning away and walking into the store. It was starting to become more crowded and he sighed and shook his head. "Happy Pee on Earth Day!"
The assembled customers cheered.
