Why did he do that? Was his flamethrower in the shop?

Dangerous fire? So what says the arachnophobic.

If he killed the spider then it was a success.

It reminds me of a story I heard many years ago about a man who was fishing in a rowboat in some flooded timber. A snake fell out of a tree and landed in the bottom of the boat, so naturally the man fired several shots at the snake, putting several bullet holes in the bottom of his boat in the process.

Everyone knows the best way is to use the lighter to light a spray of lysol - like a mini flame-thrower.
