When I was in high school, I was goofing off in speech class when the teacher, in an attempt to embarrass me, put me in front of the class and told me to give a speech on the sex life of the horny toad. It just so happened that I had a horned toad as a pet, and had read all about them. I gave an impromptu lecture on the little creatures and astonished the teacher.

Love this story:)

I found one of these in Phoenix once. I let him go after I looked at him a bit, he was cute.

But we did used to see these guys about here and not anymore. Sad.

I love it when you can stick it right back at them like that.

Friend of mine went through FLETC and was in a role-playing exercise interviewing 'immigrants' on a bus. All spoke Spanish- except that the curve that they tried to throw him was that one of them spoke German. My friend grew up in Germany, so he just effortlessly switched to German. A very English 'Ah, s**t' came out of the grader. :-)
