My Girlfriend is Meshuggeneh!

...that's a polite way of saying that she is completely nuts.

A few weeks ago she found a bug in her living room. Apparently it was "large, gross and disgusting." She did what any sane person would do and threw it outside.

Nah, that isn't what happened. It was apparently too scary looking to pick up, and too big to squish.

So she... threw a cup over it. Yup, that's what she did. And then she went away on a vacation, leaving the bug trapped in the cup, hoping that it would somehow vanish.

She is back from vacation now, and the bug is still sitting under the cup. At least that is the assumption, since she is too afraid to look under the cup and see.

Actually, I use that cup technique. It is a simple solution, that doesn't get anything smeared or sprayed. But disposal is an important part of the technique, that she has clearly overlooked. I wonder, what is the reason that women can't deal with bugs? In my opinion this is a cultural phenomenon, with no basis in genetics.

I also have used the cup technique. But usually I use the husband technique...as in "manny...get rid of this bug!"

I don't mind spiders though...I let them stay as they wish in the house.

The bug will be dead by now--as in no oxygen...

I like pretty bugs- like ladybugs, dragonflies and butterflies--they don't "bug" me.
