More work fun...

[Magrittes Pipe]

...I was out under the bridge -- you know, where they put us trolls.

Anyway, I am minding my own business, and what do I happen upon but a little massassauga! Cute little guy. Shook his rattle at me and then slithered off.

My question is:

WHY DOES MY EMPLOYER SEND ME OFF TO A RATTLESNAKE-INFESTED SWAMP?

[Fenris]

1. Because you are black-lunged trash, that's why.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. Oh, shut up. You live in Texas...

...where smoking is MANDATORY in all offices. :P

[Fenris]

6. Yes. Yes it is. But it's usually a burning cross.

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. What I wouldn't give for one of those right now...

...I could light my cigarette off it.

[Fenris]

11. We also have oil drums filled with refuse that give off rustic odors.

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. What, like horehound and teaberry?

[Fenris]

15. Yes. Also mantooth and hogvomit.

2. Your building could be on top of an old landfill like mine is.

It's fun seeing the primordial ooze coming up through the cracks in the parking lot. The big sinkhole is a nice feature, too.

[Fenris]

4. They do pavement well in Austin.

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. Are there rattlesnakes in your sinkhole?

(I mean that literally, of course)

If not, I win.

[GOPisEvil]

10. Not sure.

I doubt it though.

You do win. Poisonous reptiles trump car-swallowing sinkholes.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Unless you're driving the car being swallowed.

That would be WAY cool!

[GOPisEvil]

16. Right now, it would swallow a tire...

...but there are so many temporary patches on the concrete, who knows if we won't just get swallowed one day. Probably the day before we move.

5. What do you do?

If I may ask.

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. I test software for banks.

And contend with the mighty beasts of the wild, apparently.

[underpants]

14. Sorry I am laughing now

Not at you mind you.

Ws there a teller in the swamp? How did you get under the bridge?

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. "Under the bridge" is figurative.

The "swamp" is, regrettably, not.

The swamp is the closest location in which employees are permitted to partake of a cigarette.

[underpants]

21. Oh

You learn something new everyday huh?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

17. Geez! I just found a huge Mississauga!

[Fenris]

18. Ew! EWWW! Ontario!

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. Those people on the banner are telling me to hurt my friends.
