Will Wallace save the day? Will the garden club be bombarded? Will Seagull take to the air and return fire? Tune in next time for Don’t Egg Him On, or Make Mine Scrambled.
This incident will be talked about for decades to come in Snug Harbor. Someone will conduct an oral history interview of Ms. Collins in the next year or two, and they will mention it (“speaking of the furniture I had on my porch, the McClellan boy, the younger one, got up on the roof of the McClellans’ house absolutely naked with a carton of eggs. Look out the window see that house? That’s it. Right up on the roof, naked as a jaybird.”) Then someone will incorporate it into a story for the Snug Harbor Historical Society 40 years from now.
Speaking of history, if this were 75 years ago, and there were a local Snug Harbor correspondent for the area’s newspaper (Westerly?) it would make the paper: SNUG HARBOR. Residents were startled Saturday morning to see Sterling McClellan on the roof of the McClellan house in his “birthday suit,” …

“You may fire at Will, Gridley.” Why? Because Will drew this uncomfortable predicament.
Note for nitpickers: according to John Cusick in “Naval Order Celebrates Victory at Manila Bay”, Commodore Dewey’s original order was “You may fire at will, Gridley.” Gridley, known to be a smart aleck, responded with “Which one is Will?” so Dewey clarified, “You may fire when you are ready, Gridley." Cusick says the initial exchange was ignored by historians because it wasn’t very dignified.
