Miscellaneous funny, nice, happy, uplifting stuff.

I spent about a year doing on-call computer repair work, and let me tell you you see things. Things you can't unsee. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The job humbles you real fast.
But nothing, and I mean nothing topped this one call.
Guy was a retired old dude living in a double-wide out at one of those nicer trailer park communities. Real chill. Friendly. Offered me a soda before I even sat down. Normal enough, right?
Except.
Running along the walls through every single room in the house, occasionally disappearing into a hole in the wall and reappearing on the other side was a train track. Like a full toy train setup, but mounted up high, looping the entire house.
I didn't ask. I just got to work.
He had a browser hijack, simple fix. I'm sitting there, laptop open, almost done when I hear it.
"Clack clack clack clack clack."
I look up.
A toy train is rolling across my field of vision. And riding on top of that train, like he owns the place which, honestly, he does.... is a blue macaw. Decent sized bird. Bright blue. Sitting on the train like a tiny, feathered conductor.
He makes direct eye contact with me and says "Choo choo motherfucker."
Then disappears into the wall.
I sat there for a good ten seconds just staring at the hole in the wall. The old man didn't even look up. Totally normal Tuesday for him.
Turns out the bird had a birth defect that made flying difficult, so the man built him a personal train system to cruise around the house.
As you do.
One of the most surreal moments of my entire life. I finished the job, took my forty bucks, and walked out a changed person.
