This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's considerable extra risk and cost for insignificant benefit. Helicopters exist but I don't take one to work.

I've considered getting a paramotor for this reason. The only trouble is, it's quite a bit slower than driving.

I'd probably die electrocuted in one of the power lines if I tried to use that as my means of transportation to/from work.

Simple solution: wear rubber.
