Wayne: I have a cat named Elvis

Richard Peacock: Huh! Weird... who would have guessed the King of Rock & Roll was named after you cat! Strange they never mention that in any of the biography... ;O)

Richard Peacock: Oh yeah... he's dead, his color went from green to brown and then he stopped moving... I buried him myself. Although he was a smart little guy, I don't think they would have hired an Iguana to work for the CIA... I could be wrong though, they do hire snakes to work in The White House. ;O)
