A day in your office consists of being eaten by a pelican? How do I apply?
Been there, done that, although it wasn't in the office. Still while at work though >_
Working on a project inland, we (a colleague and I) were taking a quick lunch break down at the river, bringing some junk food. We noticed this pair of pelicans begging food scraps from the guys sitting on the bench next to ours and when they left, this pelican duo moved to our bench. Thinking Ah, what the heck? We found it somewhat amusing tossing french fries at the stupid birds, watching those otherwise ungainly creatures snatch them out of the air. Always being too curious for my own good, I wondered if I could hand feed them. Tentatively holding out my hand with a dangling frie... *Clomp*
Tried to tear off my arm at the elbow
Well, it didn't really tear it off, but the darned things (pelican beaks) are sharp and jagged, like serrated blades and the soft skin of my lower arm was no match for it. Took almost 24 hours before it stopped bleeding completely. Didn't hold a grudge though, gave them the rest of my fries before getting some cloth wrapped around my arm. Since then, I've had my suspicions about the ravenous nature of pelicans
