Hey Reefman ... here is a story of a guy at a LFS that had a customer from out of space ... maybe you can relate ?
This guy comes in and is telling me that he has mastered the art of hypnotizing reptiles.. I just humor the guy and listen to his non-sense for a bit. I thought it would be pretty comical to watch so I let him show me his skill. I had a tokay gecko (a real biter) that was as mean as they come. If you don't know about geckos they bite and won't let go until they are good and ready.. So this guy is going to hypnotize the gecko. I get the thing out and it is on a table looking at him, he then leans down and gets his face about 2 inches from the gecko and starts talking to it. Well guess what ??? The gecko launched itself forward and attached to his face !! I almsot fell of of the stool laughing, there were about 5 regulars in the store at the time and we were all in tears laughing so hard. So the guy is trying to be all cool and calm and says that this is just part of the process... Well after about 15 minutes of him standing around waiting for the thing to let go, his girlfriend comes over and starts trying to coax the devil gecko of her mans face while telling us that she is better at hypnotizing than her man is... So she gets her face about 2 inches from where the gecko is attached and starts talking to the gecko.... Guess what ???? The gecko lets go and jumps onto her face and bites onto her nose.. At that point I totally lost it and could hardly breathe.. The whole time she is standing there with this gecko attached to her face she is telling us that she is an expert.. Then to top it all off, they bought the stinkin gecko to take it home and train it to prove us wrong.... I can't remember ever laughing that hard since...
