I was flipping channels on television yesterday and a LIZARD popped on the screen, HD technology makes it so much real, it’s like this reptile is in my living room, lecturing about saving insurance money! Just because the name of the company sounds like name of this slithering reptile, they choose it as the company’s spokesperson,?!? Well , technically it’s is not a “person”, it’s from the slimly snake ancestors. The company’s creative team could have tried to be a bit more creative, and perhaps selected cuddlier animal, maybe giraffe? Armadillo? Jellyfish?

The reason for my paranoia about horrendous gecko and similar creepy crawly reptiles is because I have terrible nightmare since I was 3 feet tall. In this almost real like dream, I am surrounded by thousands of these creatures in the room, there’s no window, no door and I try to scurry away but I am paralyzed, they have their dark beading eyes on me and are inching toward me..ahhhhhhhh, I wake up sweating and shivering, I never go back to sleep for rest of the hours of darkness.
