Pickles by Brian Crane for March 07, 2019

Why do so many people have a phobia about spiders? Spiders are our friends. They kill all sorts of dirty, nasty insects. Have you ever seen a spider kill a cockroach or a fly? They are amazingly fast.

Opal what did you do ? Remember yesterday’s brain comment ;-)

“Oh, you mean Dennis? I promised him a ride to the library later.”

Spiders: One of the few thing women will need men for once they take over the world.

“I’ll go get the car…if you apologize for the ‘looking for my brain’ crack that you made yesterday!”

well, at least Earl has a taxi close, to take him the 5 miles to get the car

My dyslexia kicked in, and at first I read this as Earl saying, “Did you just get out of that there taxi?” For a second I thought they were in ’bama.

I’m with Opal! Too quick, too unpredictable and too creepy! Yikes!

I could really see that happening!

I’m wouldn’t be surprised if she set fire to the car, one of these days after finding a bunch of spiders in the car.

A few years ago, a quarter-sized spider dropped from the sun visor onto my steering wheel hub, and I took out a mail box.

When I worked in the fleet business, we had a client in TX who parked his car over a red fire ant hill. The next morning his entire car was infested with red fire ants!

Now, that made me smile. “Of course it is.”

“NO, BUT IT HAS 8 LEGS AND I ONLY HAVE 2!”

I think AAA does spider removal! ;o]

OMG…it’s my wife

Do they still make taxis?

I could not drive with a spider in the car. I would have to remove it first.

Buy Opal a bug vacuum. Earl would still have to empty the contraption, but at least Opal could feel confident of getting rid of the wee beastie without needing to touch it.

otoh a serious spider in the windscreen is a whole ’nother beast, can cost hundreds of dollars to fix.

All I know is that if there is a spider in my car I’m the only thing it can kill and my dad ruined for me when he told me at 5 or 6 years old, spiders can jump 15 feet! All the proof I need!

Four legs good; no legs good; hundreds of legs good – eight legs bad.

’nuff said.

Most of the spiders do not like us at all and will run away.

Those dirty, nasty insects are part of the food chain as you mentioned.
