Jurassic Park in Jamaica
I know plenty, plenty "big man and big woman" who will never move back to Jamaica because of the lizard situation.In other words, dem 'fraid.
Upon moving to a new place in January, we found that a monster-sized lizard (by my standards) had been living outside the window of the office. As you can see from the picture of him posed beside a 12 inch ruler, he is thick and long and fat.
He's just big enough to keep a few thousand Jamaicans from ever moving home permanently.

The first time I saw a lizard in a Jamaican bathroom I was too afraid to pee. But I wasn't too afraid to take a picture (http://flickr.com/photos/crimsonninjagirl/739093818/in/set-72157600683957397/).
And later on I decided that Mr. Lizard and I could co-exist peacefully. The 6 inch long flying cockroaches, on the other hand...
Francis;
You DID NOT align the ruler with the lizard. A friad yu did fraid
No, I strategically placed the ruler almost a month before, waiting for him to show up.
News: according to my landlord, his name is "Fred."
