I once renovated a house where the guy bred and sold exotic birds. About 50 of them loose in the house, including two macaws. You know, the giant green parrots with beaks the size of your hand that they use to crack brazil nuts... I had to do all my work while watching them give me the evil eye. They would crack and break 1-1/4" wooden closet rod perches in one blow.

I kept imagining them doing that to my skull....

Nope, but our firm is pretty large and within the top 10 brokers here in Boston.

You all have me beat, but I did get to clean up raccoon poop yesterday... I'm a fricking autoparts guy in a Canadian Tire.

Though it was funny, I got a facemask, and when I slapped on a pair of latex gloves, I said to the store manager: "I'm going to have to ask you to bend over."
