the ridiculous proposition to breed lizards in our apt. These lizards could be bred for different colors, were large like a small dog but were very friendly and could just wander around the apt. They needed to get the management to sign off, but before asking the management, they wanted to get my approval first.

So I said YES ABSOLUTELY, THAT SOUNDS GREAT

Then they went to the manager who (gasp!) shut it down. Who could have foreseen that.
