DUMB BASTARD AWARD FOR MARCH


Greetings Hairballers,

This month the award is close to home.

The DBA GOES TO:  My friend, Barbara Anderson for the great spider/mint caper.

A giant spider (I suspect the size of a quarter) dodged her broom wielding efforts and crawled under the stretchers of a painting. (I know it’s a good painting, because it’s one of mine.)

Now, Barbara had read somewhere that peppermint repels spiders and went into action.  She pulled on a pair of oven mitts before removing the painting from the wall and placed it upside down on the floor.  She then put peppermint candies around the edges of the stretchers, thus trapping the spider.

I have a vision of the spider inside the art, on its smartphone, ordering a Hazmat suit from Amazon.

Will Barbara open the door when UPS arrives with the package?

Wile E. Coyote, where are you?

Happy Hairballs,

f
