MONK wakes up in a good mood and as usual starts to prepare breakfast... Except this morning, no matter how hard he tries, he just can't butter his toast... One after the other, the toast crumbles to bits in spite of MONK's highly imaginative attempts: the surprise attack: the stranglehold technique... And just when he's close to victory, the paper boy spoils it by tossing the newspaper and smashing the toast to bits. Even worse, when MONK finally manages to butter a toast and does a victory dance, he drops it and it lands on the buttered side. MONK gets totally fatched and attacks the toast like a Ninja. He finally manages to succeed, but doesn't count on KIMMY pilfering his buttered toast. MONK has to start all over again.
