The (Confused) Rooster That Crowed - A True Story

In a semi-rural Community Mental Health Center where I once worked, a social worker, without telling anyone, brought in a caged rooster to give to another worker at the end of the working day, parking it in a closet in the women's bathroom.

Women leaving the bathroom and reporting having heard a rooster crow were considered crazy by the staff ("probably their time of the month").
