Wierdness!

Yesterday, while working at the store, I had an Argentinian customer. He comes everyday to see if we have his item and my boss has never ordered it. That kind of gets me annoyed. Anyway, obviously the guy had some time on his hands so he stayed and started talking.
Guy: "hey, you know, the strangest thing happened to me yesterday." he is speaking about Friday.
Me: "yeah, what happened?"
Guy: "I was sitting out in my backyard reading the newspaper when a rat crawled up on the chair and on my head and was looking down at me into my eyes."
Me: "Are you for real?"
Guy: "yes, i'm dead serious!"
me: "really! i would have died right there for sure! what did you do?"
Guy: "well i didn't want to move because I thought that it would bite me or something so I just shifted a little and it jumped down and climb up on the fence and was looking at me." I was really laughing now.
Guy: "see, you think it's funny, but i dreamt that freaking rat all night long."
Me: "I'm sorry but this is hilarious!" Now the guy starts laughing. "It must have been a mouse right? Or maybe a little rat..."
Guy: "No, this thing was huge." He showed a size that was almost a foot long with his hands. I knew he was exaggerating but at the same time, I knew that rats can grow to a very large size.
Me: "Goodness gracious! You know in the lab, the rats we experimented on got so fat that we had to put them on the treadmill?"
Guy: "Yeah?"
me: "Yeah, all they did was eat and sleep all day long. so your rat, he was probably hungry or something or it smelled food on you."
Guy: "you think that's what it is? I probably smelled like food."
Me: "Was it dark?"
Guy: "yeah, it was getting dark."
Me: "but rats usually don't climb up on people though.....maybe he was curious!"
Guy (very serious now): " You know what, I think that rat wanted to tell me something. I know it's a she. Must be one of my ex girlfriends....."
Me: "Oooookay!" I was in tears!
He started telling me stories about rats and his life in Argentina. He used to keep chickens and there was a rat that would eat the chickens. One day, he brought a cat thinking that the cat would chase away the rats. The next morning, the cat was dead. The rat ate the cat! That was even more ridiculous and his accent made it even more so. After the rat, he told me about a girl he was dating once. She worked in an exotic pet store. One day he goes there to take her out to lunch and he sees a humongous tarantula walking around the store. He is freaking out and then he sees the girl pick up the "thing" and lets it walk all over her shoulder. He told her that he had to leave and he cancelled the date. According to him, that was the last time he ever saw her.
It seems as if this guy is a magnet for wierd occurences. He was back to his rat story again and he told me of another time when an opossum ("manicou" in trini) walked up to him and right over his feet! I was thinking at the same time that in Trinidad, if a manicou came that close to a person, that manicou would see its last minute right there. They cook them and eat them in Trinidad. According to some, it's a delicacy!
