What happened next you will not believe, nobody believed it, the reptile had vanished, disappeared. I thought it was a ghost because there are no holes in the walls. A state of panic ensued, caution was taken to prevent the snake from crawling up the pants (imagine that) as the hunters moved to open space.
I forgot to tell you, that, beside the throne there was a small waste paper bin. This was moved, the lid was opened; no snake. They looked behind the toilet bowl, the door, on the ceiling. Nothing. Zilch.
It was then decided to place the bin in a plastic bag and taken outside.
By now a small gathering of curious civy staff had assembled for the day's excitement. The bin was thrown from the plastic bag and again searched. Suddenly, out slithered the snake. All this time it was inside the bin, coiled around the mechanism that opens the lid.
It's now you should see the civies scampered, running and jumping like some wild bucking broncos as the snake tried to escape across the tarmac. It was quickly caught and held firmly with the squeegee until it was taken away by the vet.
It was unknown if this was a poisonous snake. One thing for sure is that this was "no pet" said the vet. The Austrians were lauded for their bravery, while the civies went back to work still shaken from the thought of a snake being in the office building. I was given a pat on the shoulder for doing the right thing by calling the military.
You see, I (Weirdpet) was that staff member who went for a pee pee.


...Just before publishing this article, I was informed that yet another slithering creature was caught lurking not far from where the first one was found. Seems like they are planning an invasion. Staff are warned to be very vigilant in their daily movements.
