Mr. Bland Joe
There once was a man who lived in a small village nestled in the countryside, whose name was Joe. Joe was an average, ordinary man of average, ordinary build with an average, ordinary life. He lived in an average, ordinary house, had an average, ordinary job, and had an average, ordinary family. Nothing out of the ordinary ever seemed to happen to Joe, and he was quite content with that.
One day, Joe woke up to his usual alarm clock, which was set to play the most annoying, average, ordinary tune. He got out of bed and went about his usual morning routine. He made himself breakfast and a cup of coffee, which was, of course, average and ordinary. He then went to work at the local accounting firm, where he spent his days crunching numbers and filing paperwork.
At lunchtime, Joe went to his usual sandwich shop and just as he was about to order his usual turkey and cheese sandwich on wheat bread, he felt a strange sensation in his stomach which seconds later, erupted into the shrills of a dying whale. It was then that he knew he had somehow missed a very important detail about this morning's breakfast, and he ended up spending the rest of his lunch break in the toilet.

After work, Joe went to pick up his daughter from school. He was greeted with the usual chaos of kids running around and screaming. As he waited for his daughter to finish her after-school activities, he struck up a conversation with another parent. To his surprise, he discovered that they had gone to the same high school and had never crossed paths. They both laughed at the coincidence and went their separate ways.
Later that evening, Joe's wife made their usual dinner of spaghetti and meatballs. However, halfway through the meal, they realized they were out of parmesan cheese. Joe volunteered to run to the store to get some, but as he was driving, he got stuck behind a slow-moving tractor. He let out a frustrated sigh and thought to himself, "Just my luck."
As the night went on, Joe and his family watched their usual TV shows and went to bed at their usual time. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and Joe drifted off to sleep, content with his average, ordinary day.
The next morning, Joe woke up to his usual alarm clock, made his usual cup of coffee and breakfast, and went about his usual morning routine. He couldn't help but think about how uneventful his life was, but he couldn't help but laugh at the hilariously average and ordinary events that had unfolded the day before. And that, to Joe, was the most extraordinary thing of all.
