Mike Oren reported seeing a dinosaur
while playing in Mykonos…
"It was a dark and stormy night when,
while playing table tennis in Mykonos, all
of a sudden the room started shaking, fire
and smoke penetrated the room and the
double entrance doors burst open. Into the
room entered a huge scary dinosaur with its
mouth wide open showing sharp large teeth
and holding a paddle in its hand. "I too want
to play," dino announced in a commanding
fiery roar. And, of course, with no one brave
enough to object, it stepped up and wielded
the paddle like a pro! As I was recovering
from my shock, looking down I noticed
that scary dino had beautifully colored and
manicured toenails. Realizing its cover was
blown, dino wished us Happy Halloween
in a familiar voice and we immediately
guessed it was our very own Janice Dailey.
Immensely relieved, we got back to playing
with Janice the now friendly dinosaur"
