Gwyn quote: for those of you unaware of palmetto bugs.. imagine the largest cockroach you have ever seen.. now imagine it walking into and out of a Nuclear reactor... taking steriods... and god being twisted enough to give them wings durring part of the year.. when you least expect it. They have Zero and I mean Zero fear of human beings.. or lights. They will fly at you... Hell they will hand you your coffee mug in the morning if you are on talking terms with them. Ah yes, The notorious palmetto bug. A magnificent critter. I have a male friend who lives in the Midwest. He developed an annoying habit of calling me at 2/3 a.m., drunk, in a bar, and telling me a joke that he just couldn't wait to share with me. After the first few times, I found this behavior less than amusing and asked him to quit, but, of course, he wouldn't. Sooooo, I found the biggest, nastiest palmetto bug I could in a mulch pile in my yard. Blech. I put him in a match box ( yanno, the stick kind, but slid the box into the cover upside down. I put some moist lettuce in with him to make sure he had food/water for the trip, marked it "fragile, this side up", and away he went FedEx to Minneapolis. My buddy called me, still screaming and freaking out, afraid that the big boy was still hiding in his clothes since he couldn't find him anywhere. *Evil Grin* The poor lad hasn't been the same since, but the midnite phone calls stopped. Ahhhh...peace.
