While others would do everything in their power to keep cockroaches out of the house, one Chinese woman has welcomed the creepy critters – all 100,000 of them.

Yuan Meixia, a 37-year-old pharmacy employee in Fujian province, uses her countryside home next to the woods as a breeding ground for the roaches, which she then sells to a pharmaceutical company that uses it in certain medicines.

The insects will eventually be dried and sold to a factory in faraway Anhui province, but during their short lives with Yuan, she treats them “like her children”.

I would marry each and every one of them.

And pay no taxes. Ever.

Well, maybe only the female 50%. Then you could have a harem of sister wives, each collecting huge refunds every year.

When I lived in St. Louis with my first wife we would have been rich too.

She had a thing for pet mice and they would get loose and go into the walls and eat the roaches.

Looks like she’s eating one of her children. Reminds me of the song, “I’m Gonna’ Go Eat Worms”...of which one line sez, “...first you bite their heads off; then you slurp their guts out....” And....oh yeah, the ones of her kids the lady doesn’t eat, she sells!

I wonder if roaches would make good bait...

Some threads do not deserve the storage they require; this is one of them. But who am I? Just a humble fungus.

When I was in NY city some time ago I checked into the YMCA. When I went up to my room there were at least 100,000 cockroaches waiting for me all over the bed, floors and walls. Needless to say, I didn’t want the room.

Sounds like a business to me ... but I couldn’t do it, can’t stand roaches. Other insects, arachnids, reptiles, no problem, but not roaches.

Oh God, don’t even get me started on those damn things. I unfortunately grew up in New york city and when the 90s came around all the liberals in the country treated NYC as the Mecca of liberalism and moved in, driving rents through the roof and as a result the landlords would try to evict the LTTs - long term tenants to make room for these trust fund leftist pukes by cutting heat and willfully infesting apartments. I would be sitting at my desk and cockroaches would be crawling all over my legs and back. Or sleeping and being woken up by them on my face.

You've got nothing to worry about, since 0bama Bin Laden was hidden all along in your backyard storage shed......your ass is covered, Big Fella. Even Zer0 is watching your back.
