Although I couldn't find it, I could swear we've had a lizard in a chicken egg IOTD before ... was that a generic lizard rather than a gecko, perhaps?

Last night I was talking to an insurance company guy. My patient was crazy enough to get paid to keep, and he was giving me an authorization number. Most of the care managers are pretty conventional when they ramble off the letter-number combo, and stick to the usual phonetic alphabet, you know, A-Alpha, B-Bravo, C-Charlie kind of stuff. Last night, the guy on the other end of the phone was about as dry as dust. Straightlaced. So it was really unexpected when I got my auth number and he said "G as in Gecko, J as in Jump ..."
