This one is from Hubs this morning.
Hubs works for a security firm that has various clients between the border and Seattle. On weekends, he guards an office building. I don't know what they do in that building...I think they're a cult that worships light or something? I dunno, their website says they are an "international society advancing an interdisciplinary approach to the science and application of light." They don't really get more specific than that. So they're kinda mysterious. Their neighbors across the street don't even know what they do.
Anyways, Hubs has his car parked across the driveway and is sitting in it to block anyone from pulling in and parking. He sees four people meander by. He notices in his rearview that after they passed him, they started hiding behind trees and in the bushes. Hubs gets out of his car. He sees two of them behind trees (one was wearing a very white shirt), and he sees a head quickly poke around some hedges.
The two behind the trees realize they've been had, so they wander off-site. Hubs waits a minute, then goes behind the hedges to see the other two just standing there.
Tresspassers: "Hey."
Hubs: "Hi. Can I help you?"
Tresspassers: "Um...you work here?"
Hubs: "I work for private security that this company has hired. You're on private property, and I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
Tresspassers: "So uh...what do these people do here, anyways?"
Hubs: "I don't know. I don't get paid to know. I only get paid to guard this property."
Tresspassers: *as they're leaving* "They pay you and you don't even know what they do?"
It doesn't matter what they do, if they're building time machines or making hamster bedding*, when the security guard politely tells you to GTFO, you GTFO. Besides, the office isn't paying him, the security firm is. And I don't think even they know what goes on in this office building. I'm just as curious as the tresspassers, but the truth is, no one knows! You still need to shut up and GTFO, though.
*Two other sites Hubs has guarded in the past are a plant that makes small-animal bedding (which coincidentally is the brand I've bought for years...at the site, Hubs said they actually have hamsters and gerbils and guinea pigs in the offices! Squeee!), and another site Hubs describes as where they are building a "strange, expensive machine", which I interpret to mean it's a prototype time machine.
