...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?

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

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

9. What I wouldn't give for one of those right now... |
|
...I could light my cigarette off it.

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

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.

7. Are there rattlesnakes in your sinkhole? |
|
(I mean that literally, of course)
If not, I win.

I doubt it though.
You do win. Poisonous reptiles trump car-swallowing sinkholes.

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.

Not at you mind you.
Ws there a teller in the swamp? How did you get under the bridge?

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.
