I've got you a fried egg there. Why don't you walk us through that one? And it's not at breakfast.

Yeah, it's not a breakfast, and you get here and you're pretty pissed off, you're not sitting up.

You're going to get him, right?

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

You're going to get [INAUDIBLE].

You're going to get fried eggs, and that's something you're going to have to deal with. I think giving yourself a putt for par. If you give yourself a putt for par--

Or just get out of it.

Yeah, or just get out of the bunker. Some fried eggs are more difficult than others. And this one I look like I have some green to work with and that's not too buried, so I'm expecting to get a putt for par.
