Do you hear the frog?
Since working as an art museum security guard requires such attentive care to the masterpieces (or as one of the museum tech refers to as "messterpieces") on the walls, i feel a little guilty about one recent discovery of mine.
i make noises.
not just any noises. frog noises. blackbird noises. cat purrs. i can even do a hummingbird with my tongue on a good day. the ethical dilemma that i find myself caught in when it comes to these noises is that a) i don't realize that i am even making them and 2) clearly i'm not paying attention to all the grimy fingers rubbing up against the monet(s) or the rouault (one of my fav's) or even the degas'...
how do i solve this dilemma, dear abby?

when you find yourself making these noises just look at everyone else as if they are crazy because usualy they are
dammit. i thought I was the one who made you purr. owww
Blossom forth with matching predator/prey couplings of fauna and allow them to consume each other until the one remaining--top honcho in this aural food chain--settles in for a long digestive nap. Strike it upon the head with some sculpture or other (Winged Victory or any Giacometti) and simply return to business unhampered. Likelihood is the champion will be an Orca and, as they are mute, you may pass on the faunacidal last step and keep the beast as a pet, and as a discouragement to further noise-making.
