Bart-man to the rescue...

So I went to work on Tuesday, ready for another round of sucking up spit, when down the hall I heard the other dental assistant say, "THAT is a BAT...and it's on THIS side of the window!" Against my better judgement I went over to see it, and lo-and-behold...an outline of a bat on the blinds. Georgette (the dental assistant) flipped the blinds so that it was facing us (I didn't say she was smart) and Bart (my bro-in-law and boss) ran out to his car and got his fishing net.

Meanwhile, I said if they needed me, I'd be in the bathroom with the door locked nice and tight...but my curiosity got the better of me and I stayed to watch. Bart-man took a piece of cardboard and scraped it - I kid you not, the sucker wouldn't let go, and it was making weird creepy bat noises - into the net and held it there with the piece of cardboard. He took it outside while my brave little self watched from the office window. Bart-man was trying to get it to let go of the net, but to no avail. Some patients were leaving the building, wondering what he was doing, when he finally got it to let go. The bat flew towards Bart-man, Bart-man pulled a Zorro and tried to fight it with his sword (I mean fishing net),

and then the bat flew towards the patients that were walking in the parking lot. I kid you not, the thing was HUGE when it's nappy little wings were spread. Needless to say, they ran screaming to their cars...and I laughed my face off from the safety of the indoors. Bruce Wayne picked a great symbol to scare the pants off of people. Just another day at the office, my friends...just another day at the office.
