The story gave me a chuckle and reminded me of Richard Pryor's comedic characterization of the fictional Mudbone, the wino philosopher who takes his friend Toodlums to the see the voodoo lady in Jefferson to remove a mojo. Unlike Toodlums though, who ended up being turned into a polar bear with "tiny feets", the Malaysian teacher and his wife luckily escaped unharmed.

I have a friend who will be taking a vacation to Borneo soon. (I find that very strange.) What should she watch out for? She will be on a tour sponsored by our local zoo so I am sure she will be going into the jungle.

The times that have I threatened to dance naked when prayers weren’t answered for rain, it began to pour down raining within a few hours. I told hubby that proves even God doesn’t want to see me naked.

"...What should she watch out for?..."

Huntsman spiders--not usually fatal, but the bite is quite painful.

About the size of a large tarantula.
