Ich wenn im Supermarkt einer ohne Maske auftaucht
Me when someone shows up at the supermarket without a mask.
Monitoring the situation.
REPTILE TRIFECTA IN PLAY!!
N.B. The preceding is a complete sentence.
And airplanes.
The lizard probably just got fed up waiting on assisstance and thought “I’ll just get it myself!”
“Who stocked the last bottle of skin cream on the top shelf?”
This is why you keep the popular items with lizards on the bottom shelf.
Also - what kind is this? Monitor?
Fun fact: the Thai word for water monitors “hia” (pronounced like he-uh) is also a swear word. Guess it does double duty in this situation!
“Excuse me, Excuse ME. Get me your MANAGER”
Suggestion: if what I learned from watching movies is true, your lizard problems can be solved with a gorilla. Unfortunately it may result in the destruction of the entire store.
It’s likely an Asian water monitor. They are quite common in Southeast Asia.
Welcome aboard, comrade. With cool fun facts like that, you’ll be a valuable addition to the crew.
C’mon, Karen, there’s a SIGN on the DOOR says “Service Lizards Only”.
I find myself torn between realizing it’s a wild animal that should be given its distance, and d’aww.
I did that once, under the impression that it was a stairway to heaven.* Did I go viral? DID I BOGROLL.
- A fifth of whisky and that month’s prescription of amitriptyline may have been involved.
