i dont usually fall for sucker jokes, but as a teen i was round a friends house and she was talking about this cactus she had in the kitchen she had given it a name, and she told me to be careful going near him as he gets stroppy if he senses you dont like him and will bristle up like an angry cat.
well needles to say i was unsure whether she was teasing me or not. i never have trusted cacti and deep down a part of me does think they are vindictive and will go for me.
