the pocket. That means he's not about to reach for his wallet because there's this scary

sharp tooth animal there in his pocket that'll snap his hand off. And I thought that

was a really cool, colorful phrase. And I was reminded of this the other day because

I just learned that in France, a stingy person doesn't have a crocodile in his pocket. Instead,

he has orsa. He has sea urchins in his pockets. And you're not going to want to reach in

there because Owl. And so I started digging around and it turns out that in various countries,

there are various dangerous animals in the pockets of stingy people. In Brazil, sometimes

you would say that there was a scorpion in somebody's pocket or in Serbia, it's a snake.
