TRQ: Did you hear about the poisonous spiders?
ME: Which ones?
TRQ: The ones that hide beneath the toilet seats on airplanes.
ME: There are spiders on airplanes now?
TRQ: Yes. And when you sit down they bite you right there on your bottom.
ME: Ouch.
TRQ: Yes. And then you die.
For some reason this story gave me enormous amounts of cheer.
ReplyDeleteAll this time I was paranoid about Snakes On The Plane when I really should have been worried about toilet spiders nibbling at my bum.
ReplyDeleteDamn hell. And I have to get on an airplane next week.
ReplyDelete"And then you die."
ReplyDeleteI love TRQ's golden teaching moments. This may be the best one of all.
