Germonprez' son has jumped off the roof. He had expected it would touch him more, but it doesn't, so he decides to go back to work. A colleague seems to be more heart-broken than he is about it, and his manager apparently doesn't care very much. Then at a meeting Germonprez sees his manager lay an egg. Or he thinks that's what he saw, at least.

Or is there a more simple physical explanation?
