One of the neighbors was greeting the new neighbor, who'd just introduced himself.
"I just now noticed that those plants are gone on your side of the fence," Oldham said.
"You mean those Pampas Grass things? Yeah, I tore them out of there first thing yesterday--hate those things worse than monkey grass!" said Newman.

Newman nodded and said, "Lizards, too. They scattered in every direction when I started digging and pulling each one up!" he laughed.
"That's a new one on me," Oldham grinned. "But they eat some insects, so I guess they can't be categorized as pests!"
"Guess not," Newman laughed. "Better get back to work now."
Yeah, better."

Them lizards are good eatin'! Okay maybe not but I like to have them around, especially geckos.

And when I think of a lizard having balls, i just get CRAZY MAD!
