Bird Feathers = FEAR

[Entoptic]

I was taking a break from EPO demos and decided to walk around the campus here at Oracle. We have a ton of geese right now and they are dropping large feathers all over the place. Since I am working on a new version of my wings I decided to grab 5 large feathers to get a better understanding of how birds open and close their feathers and wings. I come back inside and a few of my cube mates start freaking out telling me how diseased the feathers are and how I might spread sickness to everyone on the floor I work on. Are people really that paranoid and fearful of some bird feathers?

I know, I know, we were all taught as kids not to touch a dead bird because of disease but come on, these are live birds and just some feathers. Do we really live in a society these days were people freak out over bird feathers? I guess so....

Thoughts? I am gonna die!

Do you work with a bunch of software people at Oracle who rarely see the light of day because they code all day and night? Do you really think that these people are worldly enough to take seriously?

Yes- you are gonna die. Kill them with bleach and fire.

You obviously need to fuck with them. Sell them some lie about how actually the geese are losing these feathers because they're shedding their thicker winter plumage which means they're heathy because sick geese don't shed.

Maybe he works with a bunch of other "EPO demoers" whatever that is? Seeing how they're his next door neighbors.. Or some laptop support? Is that what they do all night?

Tell them that you already have herpes simplex 11 and some funky feathers are way less of a concern than the fact that you've been rubbing their keyboards on your junk after they go home at night.

Tell your cow-irkers they have as many mites in their eyelashes, and as much algae in their fingerprints as those feathers do, and to effing SAC UP, or turn in their man cards.







Or send 'em my way. I'll scare the white right out of 'em on one of my 'normal' days.

Birds can carry things like salmonella and feathers littered around droppings can carry disease but really you're fine. Infections are rare and you're not sticking them in your mouth. Wash your hands before you eat, tops.

Certainly not "omg you're shoving cat turds up your nose?!" level of medical alert.

Aww hell, city people can be such pussies. When I was a kid, we would stick feathers in our hair and shoot each other with our little shitty bows n arrows and Daisy bb guns. . Today they'd probably call Hazmat and Homeland Security.
