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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Most fantasy settings that allow for gryphon / dragon / other winged mode of transport, also have saddles for such beasts that tether the user to the saddle/ animal. If you fall off, you unclipped your harness and deserved it.
It's considerable extra risk and cost for insignificant benefit. Helicopters exist but I don't take one to work.
Speak for yourself, if i had the means to fly 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.
Like this, right?
