Tuesday Teaser: The 100-Year-Old Man by Jonas Jonasson

Tuesday Teasers is hosted by Should Be Reading. The rules are as follows: Grab your current read and let the book fall open to a random page. Share two sentences from somewhere on that page and the title of the book that you’re getting the teaser from. Please avoid spoilers! Read the official Tuesday Teaser Rules.

My teaser is from The 100-Year-Old Man by Jonas Jonasson. From page 73:
