How to Smash a Bug

Greg taught me this new way of smashing a bug. Instead of just using one square of toilet paper to catch a giant-sized spider, then struggle to crush it and kill it while it's running out of the toilet paper...(like Mom does. Yuck! And you can hear it's exoskeleton crush as she smashes it down on the counter to kill it!)


The BETTER way, is to get a small wad of toilet paper and quickly wet it under a faucet of running water. There should be enough water that you can squeeze drips out of you wanted.
Next, you find the dreadful bug, aim, and throw your wad of wet toilet paper at it! The wad of toilet paper will stick to almost anything (wall, ceiling...) including the bug itself! All you have to do is slide the wad off the wall and roll it up, then calmly discard in the nearest trash bin. If the bug was rather large and you are afraid of it escaping it's wet coffin, you may flush it down the toilet for added relief.

that's so funny. what a good idea. especially if the bug is on the ceiling where it's hard to get to.

Sounds like you need to build a large spitwad rifle.

One problem: Once you throw a wet wad at the ceiling, you will have a clean spot. Then you either have to clean the whole ceiling, or you will have a record of where all the ceiling bugs met their untimely deaths.

Haha, that's funny. Don't worry Dad, our ceiling is so crappy and dumb looking anyway. Do you remember? It's the stupid office building fake ceiling, with brown water spots...and in one room the previous tenants outlined the water spots with a black permanent marker. They wanted to see how fast the water spot was growing, however they did not take into account how much worse it looked outlined in black marker. It's a rental...can't expect too much I guess.

The big spit wad theory, huh? Curious. It still sounds very sick to me...but only cause I'd have to have good aim, and I'm pretty sure I'd miss and it'd RUN. eek! THat's too funny how he does it. I'm always getting after Jeff how he kills bugs- he's not very good at cleaning up the evidence, if you know what I mean- blah.
