They are supposed to be prepared to handle most anything, yet a harmless lizard managed to scare the daylights out of U.S. Secret Service agents preparing a residence for President Obama's trip to Thailand.
Thai officials, however, reassured the U.S. Secret Service that the massive lizards found on the Government House grounds were not the dangerous Komodo dragons, but the harmless, lazy water lizards.

Bring it!
Typical Dem voter....
I come in peace, it said, ... take me to your Lizard.The Secret Service is afraid they'll bring back the wrong lizard...Ford Prefect, of course, had an explanation for this, as he sat with Arthur and watched the nonstop frenetic news reports on television, none of which had anything to say ...
It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see...
You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?
No, said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.
Odd, said Arthur, I thought you said it was a democracy.
I did, said Ford. It is.
So, said Arthur, hoping he wasnt sounding ridiculously obtuse, why dont the people get rid of the lizards?
It honestly doesnt occur to them, said Ford. Theyve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government theyve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.
You mean they actually vote for the lizards?
Oh yes, said Ford with a shrug, of course.
But, said Arthur, going for the big one again, why?
Because if they didnt vote for a lizard, said Ford, the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?
I say “Free the Komodos”!
Kind of like Democrats vs. Republicans.
Thailand?
Should have let the lizard eat the snake who ate the dog.
It would be SO AWESOME if we had an American president eaten by a lizard! Go go go!
Are they going to lick the flies off of his face?
I am rooting for the lizards versus O’Bama!
Giant Lizard indeed. Needs immediate investigation, on site.
Thanks for the clever chuckle (Perfect Placement in a Thread Award, NAV)
Wasn’t the Hilliary traveling circus just there? No chance she arranged a “lizard swap” as a surprise for her boss, now is there?
“lazy water lizards” - I didn’t know Mooocheel went with him.
I want one ...
