I Walked Into The Bathroom This Morning . . .

[lawman]

. . . and my wife was directing the blast from her hairdryer in the direction of the vanity area surrounding her sink.

She was so intent on her task that my presence startled her. I asked what she was doing. She said something about a roach.

Being a man, I knew I wouldn't understand so I inquired no further. I just turned around and walked out.

I walked in to the bed this morning. Caught me right on the shin - bloody painful

I walked into my wife this morning, and so I got a blast of hot air too!

Lawman is a wise man.

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

Did she call you a roach? If so it's time you sorted that girl out ;)

[PhraSEOlogy]

Never used a hairdryer on a roach but you can use it on a bee-hive.

[Syzygy]

Perchance the roach had just washed its hair?

[lawman]

From listening, I found out that hairspray was also involved. If I find out any more, I'll pass it along. :)

[digitalghost]

Hmm, I found out when I was a child that hairspray, combined with an electric hair dryer, makes a pretty good impromptu flamethrower. The trick is soaking the inside of the barrel with hairspray first...

You're lucky Lawman, she took it upon herself to kill the roach. Beats hearing the banshee cry of "kill it KILL IT KiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllLL IttttttttTTTT from several rooms away. ;)

<added />yeah, umm, don't try the hairspray/hair dryer thing at home, ever.

[Webwork]

Never annoy a woman with a flamethrower in her hands.

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

Poor little roach :(

[Webwork]

Did you tell your friends that you found your wife smoking a roach in the bathroom?

[graywolf]

I use a hairdryer on my webber charcoal grill from time to time

[lawman]

Alright graywolf, who are trying to fool? Anyone who really has one of those grills at least knows how to spell it. :)

[Hawkgirl]

Lawman, it sounds perfectly logical to me. I've used the same method of bug-killing in the past.

[graywolf]

I misspelled it on purpose ... yea that's the ticket ... trying to catch the long tail on search misspelling for others who are alphabetically challenged ... right ...

For the record I own a charcol and a gas grill. Mrs. GW doesn't like the taste of slow cooked smoked foods, go figure.

[Sarah Atkinson]

I've used a steamer on ants before. Unfortunatly I do not own a hair dryer.. benn meaning to get one for a few years though.

[lawman]

I don't torture the critters with hair care, personal hygiene, or other implements that are not "critter specific." I just squish 'em.

BTW, I consider a shoe, rolled up newspaper, or other similar item "critter specific."

[Sarah Atkinson]

well the reason I used a streamer was because therer were hundreds of them and lots were all over the carpet and walls and ants by nature are hard to squish. We have this massive ant collony under our house which the exterminators can't seem to get rid of

[lawman]

I wasn't calling you out Sarah - just trying to be funny in my own demented way.

[donovanh]

> massive ant collony under our house which the exterminators can't seem to get rid of

I must spend too long around computers, my first thought was "reformat".

[grandpa]

but you can use it on a bee-hive

That just brings visions of mayhem.

I've read where some cultures will use an opposite approach to critters in the house. Buddhists for example will set out a sugar water dish, drawing the ants to a specific area and thus removing them from the carpest, draperies and light fixtures. I've never minded a spider or two around, they eat all sorts of other critters. Roaches are easier to eliminate with a boric acid, flour and sugar paste, rolled into balls and placed in places where roaches hide out. Of course, it's not as entertaining.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha heh he he he he hehe he ehe ehe eh cough!

That is the funniest thing I have read all week. Thanks for cheering me up. I have been a bit down and that just fixed it.

Bet Tommy Chong wishes he thought up that scene.

Thanks
