What's the most unique, out of box way you've started a script?

I'm about to punch in Fade In: on a TV pilot I've been ramping up and it's going to start with a rough looking homeless man turning the rain off an on like a faucet. Out of context, this is insane but isn't that the point? What's the craziest, most attention grabbing way you've started a script to wrangle in your audience?

A fast food worker telling his boss, how he messed up the best thing to ever walk thru the doors of the fast food restaurant. >rant style. Gives a vested interest on where this guy is coming from and entertaining, (so i thought)

I killed the "hero" in the first ten pages and made the comic relief sidekick take over from there.

Rustin L. Odom

Wow! That's ballsy, William! I LOVE IT
