The real reason I left before everyone else...
6 year old daughter:"Do they bite Daddy?"
Ignorant father: "I don't know... Ouch...!, I feel sick..."
Terrified 6 year old daughter:"EEEEEEK, I want to go HOME, NOW...!" [subtext: tears, sobs, moans, gasping for air...]
Ignorant father who is now realizing that his daughter will never be a United States Air Force Survival Instructor like he was so long ago...: "O.K., let me load the car"
