    Now we need a new song verse for “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”

    ‘. . .Climbed in the ear canal.
    In came the saaaline and washed the spider out.
    Then the itsy bitsy spider eggs stuck fast another day.’

    Someone once said to never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. Or anything with more elbows than you have relatives.

    Sleeping with a big saline loaded ear syringe now, TUA? Or ear plugs + ear muffs + a mosquito net? Or befriended a praying mantis? Seen them eat most anything that craws.

    Great, now every time my ear itches I’ll be spraying a can of Black Flag into it.

    Just use WD-40. It works great on bees nests.

    Doctors say they believe the spider entered the woman’s home while the home was undergoing renovations, and crawled into her ear while she was sleeping.

    He evidently didn’t knock.

    p.s. Sounds like a great health care system.

    Hey, at least it was a jumping spider. They’re pretty harmless.

    Poor thing just wanted a warm place to sleep.

    I was sitting on the crapper down in Mexico this one time when this really big, green, gnarly-ass spider came walking right past me. I was reading a newspaper, or something, so I took a half-hearted swat at it with that.

    Immediately, about a hunnert little baby green spiders jumped off and skedaddled all over the place. I guess it was a mama spider carrying all her young with her.

    Well, them baby spiders wasn’t the only thing that jumped that day. Needless to say; I saved the wiping part for later.

    My brother was moving a swarm of bees and one managed to get in his ear. Stung the hell out of him and the humming drove him crazy til he drowned it with peroxide. Made my tinnitis seem trivial.

    Wood ticks have a tendency to like all orifices also.

    LOL – I remember that Night Gallery episode. It was an earwig, and it had me creeped out about earwigs for a good long time. Incidentally, one time I went to put more water in the iron, and when I did, an earwig popped out of the iron. Creeped me out even more.

    TUA, when I saw that story, I IMMEDIATELY thought of you!
    Immediately, about a hunnert little baby green spiders jumped off and skedaddled all over the place. I guess it was a mama spider carrying all her young with her.
    I made that mistake with what I thought was a huge brown, furry spider.
    SHIT!
    I STILL get the shudders as I think of all those damn babies that seemed to explode off mama as I stomped on her.
    Some of them went in my shoes…. I was squealing, immediately started stripping off shoes, socks and clothes, threw them out the front door, just in case and ran DIRECTLY to a hot shower to make sure they were all gone. I didn’t give a rat’s ass if the neighbors saw me naked!

    Melissa they probably planted the spiders so they could see you nekid.
    When I first saw the picture I tho’t it was of you if Obama was reelected ’cause I sure as hell would look like that and wouldn’t need a spider in my ear.
