The only safe place for those wolf spider babies is on her back; she WILL eat them right after they’re born if they don’t scurry up there.. many do get eaten, her back is where the survivors live until they’re big enough to be fast enough to escape her.
Take care, may famed sprinter Usain “First Come First Serve In The Bathtub” Boltord be with you, and gesuneheit.
I could see the dog poo working for nabbing small stuff quickly. When I was in Peru one of the scams was to have one person in the team, the innocent-looking one, “accidentally” drop a dollar bill (or Sol, or Inti, or Nuevo Sol, you get the idea) at your feet. The intent was that you, the polite sucker, would stoop over to pick it up, and the other team members would get your jacket, your camera bag, or what have you. I actually had this tried out on me in a restaurant in Arequipa; it didn’t work because I failed to react properly wondering why this person obviously very deliberately dropped money. (She needed acting lessons.) All the restaurant employees were agitated afterwards, warning me about this scam: “¡Usa sus ojos!”
In that context, Spaniards offering something as valueless as dog poop is pure genius! Not an Escudo (or Euro) to lose!
W T Heck? No Sunday RBION? Well, I had jokes prepared, and perhaps Saturday is just really long this week, so I’m not giving up.
A man met a beautiful girl and he decided he wanted to marry her right away. She protested, “But we don’t know anything about each other.” He replied, “That’s all right; we’ll learn about each other as we go along.”
So she consented and they were married, and they went on honeymoon to a very nice resort.
One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his towel, climbed up to the 30-foot high board and did a two-and-a-half-tuck gainer, entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple. This was followed by three rotations in jack-knife position before he again straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on his towel.
She said, “That was incredible."
He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we’d learn more about ourselves as we went along.”
So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing laps. She was moving so fast that the ripples from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly be gone before she was already touching the other end of the pool. After about thirty laps, completed in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely breathing hard.
He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
“No,” she said, “I was a prostitute in Venice and I worked both sides of the canal."

you know what other animal carries their babies on its back? the Suriname sea toad
(were the Spaniard feces-using burglars ever apprehended?)

By the time they got there, the milk most likely curdled and went sour.

They must be short-staffed at GoComics. They missed posting the strip.
On the bright side, no moldy old jokes from the Sunshine Boys.
