Summary: In a twist of events, an army of chickens congregates in the offices of the famous financial district. Wall Street now only has eyes for the new arrivals.
Article: The average American woke up yesterday to an absolutely extraordinary news: a swarm of chickens, apparently on an inspection visit, had gathered in the offices of Wall Street. Without any embarrassment, these gallus gallus domesticus were joyfully trampling over securities and became, for a day, the center of interest for all investors.
“I’ve seen a lot of strange things in my career, but never anything like this,” said John Doker, a long-time financial analyst. “I suppose we’ll have to get used to the idea of sharing our workspaces with these birds.”
The appearance of the chickens remains unexplained, but they seem to like it there. It should be noted that no trading activity was interrupted, although various technical interruptions were reported, mainly due to chickens rummaging through keyboards with their beaks.
One of the longest-serving traders, Richard Kingston, humorously commented: “These chickens seem more interested in our computers than some people I know. Who knows, maybe they have a vision for the market that we don’t understand yet.”
For now, the atmosphere at Wall Street remains joyfully anarchic, with employees crossing offices armed with seeds to attract the new inhabitants. One thing is certain, the presence of these birds in the financial heart of America has given a much-needed boost to an otherwise ordinary workday.
