Now that we all work in one big, happy, open plan office (whatever happened to walls? There was a run on sheet rock?), we can often see all the people we need to talk to on a daily basis. Yelling at them is easy when we need their attention immediately, but there are other communications that are
not quite so urgent.
For this, we provide the Nerf Carrier Pigeon. Simply fold missive into slot provided, attach Post-It to back or write message on flat bottom with the dry erase marker tucked inside its chest. Toss over to colleague. Extra points if it lands in his/her coffee.
(Just to reiterate, we are talking about things made out of Nerf foam, as opposed to things that flap about and poop white splotches on your best suit.)

do pigeons have flat bottoms? just asking. sp: woik. |
|

I am going to get into such trouble writing. Dear Mrs Smith, Ronnie has been woiking so hard this term. |
|
| |
who needs to worry about overhead pigeon poo?
not i. |
|
| |
poo is not a problem, they use the office litter tray. or was it the in-tray? |
|
| |
I prefer the mortar-round method. "Clear!" *WHOMP* Shoot those pigeons out of the sky. |

I like those cash torpedoes they used to have in suprmarkets that the checkout lady put in the suction tube and sometimes you could watch it shoot up along the tubes along the ceiling and away to the main office. I guess you would need a lot of tubing in an office, but only as many tube routes as pigeons. And there's no poo. |
|
| |
badgers: pneumatic tubes used to be commonplace in offices as well as shops. We've discussed them extensively elsewhere. |
|
| |
well we should bring them back, then. I sometimes work with sensitive data and I'm sure we could have a 'restricted' tubing network, a 'secret' network and an 'unclassified' network as we do with the computers. Pigeons, tubes, electrons, it's all TCPIP isn't it? |
