We don’t have many grasshoppers...we used to when I was little because we caught them and made them spit tobacco. Have you ever heard of that?

Hmmmmmmm......can't say that I have. But I can say that I wouldn't confront one of our grasshoppers, not without a whip and a chair. LOL. I am telling you, they are big gnarly brown things that freak me out because you never know which way they are going to jump. I remember the little green grasshoppers from back east, they bear no resemblance to what they call grasshoppers out here. LOL
