Tim's story about a friend's kid getting shut out of an Easter egg hunt in Brooklyn Heights spirals into a joke riff about whether non-Christian and Jewish kids should be allowed to participate in Easter egg hunts.
- Benjamin got taken to an Easter egg hunt in Brooklyn Heights where the rule was three eggs per kid, but older kids had 12 in their baskets.
- Tim's son didn't get any eggs because older kids were stealing them, and Tim told him the lesson is that the world is dirty.
- Tim questions whether non-Christian kids should be allowed to participate in an Easter egg hunt in Brooklyn.
- Asking if it would be wrong to point out a Jewish-looking kid at a Christian Easter egg hunt.
- Tim acknowledges Easter eggs aren't actually biblical but still feels like part of a Christian holiday, though he appreciates that Jewish people celebrate Christmas too.
- Tim's actual position: if Christian children are losing eggs to atheists and non-Christians, the hunt should have been more organized as a Christian event.
- He bought his whistle at Dick Sporting Goods, suggesting he came prepared to enforce the rules like an event organizer.
