Or a jumping Charo...
You probably haven't unless you live in the desert.
The dreaded and elusive jumping cholla is a cactus ball that literally attacks you. It jumps onto you and refuses to let go.
Such a jumping cactus attacked my brother-in-law and husband this past weekend. We were in Phoenix visiting my sister-in-law, her husband and their beautiful baby girl. These tour guides took us on a desert treck. Bart and Brannon chose flip flops as their dessert excursion footwear of choice. This proved expecially exciting to the ole JC--and particularly painful to Brannon.
While Brannon was distracted by a desert rat (rightfully so), the JC chose this particular time to pounce. Right into B's unprotected foot.
Like all good relatives, we made him stay in place until we got a camera. While laughing hysterically. Bart then made one failed attempt to remove the JC. On his second try, it jumped from Brannon's foot to Bart's leg. Pure amazingness, and the highlight of my trip!
