Uncomfortable moment....

Heavens! What does one say about the skink in their underpants?

I was out in the garden and realized that....something was going on in my pants. My immediate suspicion was a spider.....a biiiiggg spider. It's not exactly like I'd be comfortable stripping outside, so I hustled back indoors, jogged to the bathroom and dropped trou.....dumping a very confused 4-5 inch long skink onto my bathroom floor in the process.

Once I wrangled the skink and got him back outdoors, it was time to cook lunch. But I assure you, a shower is in the offing later.

I was wondering what a skink was...so I googled and...I would have been shrieking the house down and jumping and hopping about.

Actually, compared to some of hte things otehr people on the flist have aparently had trapped in their pants....a skink is amazingly benign....even his claws are soft. I got lucky!
