I have the black spider who lives in my truck. Occasionally, he'll pop up on the dash while I'm driving. He doesn't bother me, but the fact that he's been there for some time does, because that means there must be other insects for him to eat in my truck.

There may be mice and rats, too. Better get a snake.

I had a friend in high school who had absolutely no common sense. He tried to read a story about a man who put a bunch of puppies in a pillow case and swung them against a metal pole as a current events report. It was so easy... all anyone needed to do was dare him to do his report on that story.

I wish we had people like that in professional life. I'd love to see a goofy colleague dragged out of a meeting by the ear for being so outrageously inappropriate and demented. It'd make work life so much more amusing.

But snakes aren't frogs. I don't get it.

He might, Rabbit; he might.

You read my mind, gwnc. In fact, I told this fellow (chap, bloke, what have you) that it sounded as though it might work in a discussion of sporting teams or events, but I couldn't readily think of other applications.

We are, as ever, of one mind.

That was the whole spin on the story early on... "How could a handsome all American Boy kill his pregnant wife?"

That quickly changed to "fertilizer salesman." I can think of few job titles that rival this for negative implicatons.

I thought the full spin was "his adorable, glowing, more beautiful than ever, ripe with his child wife."

I thought it was "his poor unborn child and its photogenic incubator."
