I’ve been sitting on this one for a while because I didn’t want the person involved to read it. Then I realised the flaw with that. The person involved would have to read for this to be a problem.
She came up to me and said, in relation to nothing, “Hey you don’t know this, but my grandfather was the South Pacific Champion gecko wrestler during World War Two.”
Strangely, I actually knew what she was trying to say, but I didn't want to give it to her that easily. I asked, “How hard can it be, don’t you just flip them over by the tail?"
“Huh?” she explains.
“I think what you’re actually talking about is Greco-Roman wrestling,” I surmised.
“Oh really, I never knew that. I’ve been calling it gecko wrestling all my life. I wondered what that was about…”
The tears of laughter are rolling down my face.....
