When I was a kid in Sacramento, we had Black Widows all over the place outside the house and in the garage. Dad says, “Don’t mess with those, they are really venomous.”

“OK. Should we kill them.”

“Nah, they’re harmless.”

“Can we kill them if they get in our way?”

“Sure. Just be careful.”

“Thanks Dad. Remember, I turn six tomorrow.”

It was just as normal to be around black widows as it was for the neighbors dog to take a wizz on your lawn.

She sprayed her grapes with bug spray? How stupid is that?

You smash the spider ..........stupid people!

She wants her 15 minutes of fame and she wants to sue Walmart for as much as she can get!

Had one crawl out of a shotgun barrel yesterday in the garage.

During a rifle inspection while at Parris Island Boot Camp, our DI looked down the barrel of one recruit's weapon and exclaimed,

"What you got down there.....??"

"It's ALIIIIIIVE!"

The rest of us had a hard time keeping from breaking up.

I think at least half the human debris in America is clueless, helpless and useless. I understand why the LORD flooded the earth. I am surprised he found one human worth saving.

That pathetic wussy female must have never seen a Palmetto Bug!

It is Florida’s euphemistic name for a giant Kafkaesque Cockroach.

I regularly do battle with them.

Actually, black widow spiders are not uncommon in bunches of grapes.........the washing the stores and distributors do doesn’t always get them out. Nothing to freak out about.

Very common here in VA too.....look under anything in the woods where it’s dark............

I called 911 when a rattlesnake slithered out of my kitchen cabinet.
The town where I live now is so tiny, the entire night shift of the local
PD responded. All 3 officers. One of them had a tool he called a “snake snatcher.” I asked him if the city council had allocated funds for that.
He said Naw, it was his own. He’d stopped by his house to get it.
They searched for an hour, but the snake had absconded.
The officers thanked me before they left. They hadn’t had that much excitement since a month before, when another lady called about a wild hog that was menacing her chickens.
I sent them off with coffee in go-cups.

I empty a can of RAID...aim high.

It’s less noisy than the Colt .38 Special.

"It was definitely frightening," Frank said. "My girlfriend is still definitely shaken up. The smallest little things freak her out now. I mean, it's not every day you see a black widow spider."

Sounds like the setup for the pain and distress part of the lawsuit to me.
