Spiders
Silly me — I thought the hobo spider and the brown recluse were the same spider, just different names used in different geographical locations. It turns out that I am wrong. To the lay-person (i.e. me) they look the same. There is a difference, however, in the male sexual organs. To which one would have to ask: How often do we really take the time to examine spider schlongs? And how do you do so?- lift their kilts? Show a snippet of “Spiders Gone Wild” and look for the resulting woolly willies? Personally, I don’t care. I would rather not be bitten by either; my last bite and resulting rot were bad enough. Almost enough to make me less charitable about rescuing the eight-legged buggers from the shower.
Did you get bitten by a brown recluse !?!
In Idaho they're Hobo spiders, which is a step up in names from their original title: "Crack-whore welfare mom" spider or "Damned Californians!" spider. Political correctness came a bit late up here. But yes, I was bitten by a Hobo spider (the bum!). I managed to get the wound cleaned out and stop the necrosis just a bit before it got to silver-dollar size.
