“Okay, let’s start the exam. Stinking caps on, everyone—stinking caps on.”
And here's my story: I, Ed Belsky, was once swallowed by a tokay gecko. I spent over an hour in the lizard's stomach, floating among half-digested fleas and spiders. Fighting the stench and the powerful garlic juices, I finally clawed my way up the esophagus and out to freedom. Signed, Ed Belsky.
