[There's a door in one corner of the room that leads to a theater. There, in the spotlight, is Ed.] This is a little trick I learned from a man in Oregon. Strange guy! He'd eat nothing but paper. [He tears a piece of paper as he talks, and then proceeds to eat it.] Mmh, it's a little dry, I think I'll take a glass of water... [He fills a glass and drinks it.] There, better. As I was saying, he'd eat nothing but paper. He could go through a whole library in a week. I guess you could say he was a bit of a bookworm...
Despite that, he was always healthy. But then, one day, he got really sick. The doctors didn't know what was happening to him. Every test came up negative. And then, suddenly, one day, he did... this! [And, suddenly, a cascade of paper cranes bursts out of his mouth.] ...and that's how they discovered he had the avian flu!
Now, for my next number, I'm going to need a volunteer!
