THE OVERWORKER

Each day, Seymour Flatulate wakes up at 4:30 in the morning and instantly gets to work on his hobby. Seymour is a professional overworker. Everything he does, he overdoes.

Seymour lives in a house that is over painted. All the walls, windows, doors and roofs were painted green. His mailbox was green. His pool was green. His car was green, including the windshield. Everything he owned he had painted green.

During the day, Seymour worked as a cook in low budget 'greasy spoon' type cafeteria. Naturally, he always over-cooked the meals. Still, the restaurant was a huge success, because Seymour also overfilled the plates with huge portions. Fortunately, Seymour didn't work the cash register or everyone would have been overcharged.

The one characteristic about Seymore Flatulate that stands out over all the others is shown best in this story. Any four paragraphs that are written about him are vastly over-written.
