I worked for this large company once...

and there were a lot of every type of insect in that place. Some of them were huge.

If one landed near any of us, we would smash them and tape them to a huge poster board.

Then we would name them some made-up Latin name and then write their names underneath them.

No thank I'd much rather ivermectin,... It is so much easier to say,...

You want medications that are easy to say ?

Try a six ounce glass of dog piss,... gulp it down quick,... It will fix anything that ails you. Especially that thems there COVID shit.

conference calls and loudly force the rest of us to listen in to their one sided contributions.

took the rat to the cafeteria and stood it up on top the trash can next to the vending machines. All the guys were sitting at a table and when a girl was in front of the vending machine they would scream rat. Some guys can find entertainment in weird ways.

Bringing a dead rat into a cafeteria...yikes!

Also, that seems like something that would mentally scar the women who were the victims of that prank, so I would want no part of that.

You're right though...some people, myself included, find weird ways to entertain themselves!
