I hope I don't look like a bug, and I don't eat them, although with Missouri's economy in the dumper it might yet come to that.
When my wife and I were in 2nd grade, I used to show my affection for her by chasing her around the playground with grasshoppers. Although it scared her back then, we've come to laugh about it. In fact, we have a small cast iron or ceramic grasshopper in each bedroom of our house, just to remember those times!
