Do you ever frighten yourself?

[TheGinchiest]

So last night, after reading more Urban Legends on Snopes, getting myself all jittery.... I go to work.

First off is my nightly routine of getting into my truck, and stabbing my keys blindly into the extended cab seating area (homeless, stalker, axe-murderer, escaped-convict, Paris Hilton, rabid skunk, etc...)...

Nothing.

I eventually pull into a spot across the street from the entrance of my building. Chosen each night because it allows me to check my rear-view and side mirrors for any suspicious types hangin' out by the security doors. Usually nothing.

Except today?

BISON!!!

Seriously... a big ol' buffalo is staring into my rear-view mirror from across the road. After my initial shriek I realized it was some new statue placed during the previous day. I unlocked the door (having just locked it to keep the rogue downtown Buffalo out... I know... shut up) and examined it. It's like a full-sized wicker buffalo... except instead of wicker it's thin smooth steel rods.... but it's kinda thatched.

Satisfied it's anchored down, I go head towards the door. Swipe the security badge, open the big outer door....

Shriek again. More of a hollar. This time it was the reflection of the buffalo behind me in the glass window in front of me. Or as I saw it stepping in... the newly animated Iron Bison of Death charging towards me from behind.

Normally I'm not this bad. Maybe I just need more sleep.
