Penny, a kind hearted and gentile soul from across the hall had invited him for dinner.

Sheldon however had agendas of his own, namely the detritus that had collected in Leonard's head. Feline hissery and chaos ensued, and instead of hitting the fan, the contents of Sheldon's litter box, along with Leonard, hit the floor.

He would reaffirm his faith and end his evening with another reading from the book of Messcatology.
