    Greetings from Chicago, USA

    Your list is hilarious and a treasure trove of items for my talks to pest control operators and other groups. You always need to come at a familiar topic from another angle in order to get people’s attention. Shrinking Sheep is one example that nobody in my part of the universe will have thought of.

    Thanks again for your great work!
