LIZARDS FOR DINNER


3907

There is a true story of a Spanish man who harvested a bunch of Iguanas when a cold front moved through Miami and they fell out of trees onto sidewalks and roads. He put them into coolers and then into his car; thinking he would butcher them for his freezer. As he was driving down the interstate the lizards began to revive in the warmth of the car. They were climbing all over the seats and jumping onto his shoulders, chest and lap. As a result he 'freaked,' slowed down a bit, opened the door and bailed out onto the pavement. The driverless car plowed into a road barrier and turned over. A Highway Patrolman behind him saw the whole thing and pulled over. Running up to the injured man he asked why he would bail out of a perfectly good car. The man explained his situation and told him that the iguanas wanted his car much more than he did.
