When cholera and such were running rampant through the cities, constipation in the country maybe seemed like a pretty pleasant alternative? :P

There's a new guy at work named Matt Murdock.  I was very disappointed to learn he is not Daredevil.  Or else he has a really convincing cover story.

Years ago I met a guy named Jake Thunderbolt. His middle name was Danger. For some reason he didn't have a superpower.

Also a cool tidbit of info for everyone here but old poisoned weapons even if they're hundreds of years old are POTENTIALLY STILL LETHAL AND POISONED because the poison can lie dormant but if you accidentally prick yourself and get blood on the blade then it reactivates the poison and can KILL YOU! Ha! Wow...:o

For the sake of the partcularly stupid and disrespectful visitors, I hope all those weapons are under glass or very high up the walls. ;)

Last night I tried to ask my friend "was the taco any good?" and auto-correct somehow managed to change it to "was the racist any good?". I don't even understand. 

I also have the weirdest craving for cream tea which is something I've only even had once in my life. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

This sounds like the coolest job.
