Obviously not classy enough people for you to want to work for, Bill.  A few
years ago I had a Peregrine fly past the 12th floor in Melbourne carting a
feral pigeon.  At least 2 or 3 others in the office saw and were asking what
it was - not the bosses, though!

I recently (well, it was more than a year ago now) was interviewing for a 
job in a company who had their headquarters at the top of a skyscraper in 
Bourke Street.  The interview panel all sat against the glass wall of the 
office, and I sat opposite them, occasionally answering a question, but 
mainly admiring the view.  Suddenly a Peregrine went past the window, just 
metres from the glass.  I yelled "woah, a Peregrine! Did you see that?"

No reaction whatsoever from the three interviewers.  They didn't even blink,

just sat there like the Easter Island statues.

Perhaps not surprisingly, I didn't get the job.
