Subj:     Spider Webs Explained (S468b)
          From: igiggle on 1/6/2006

 A spiders web is made of two types of silk, one sticky and
 the other not. The spider begins the web with the non-sticky
 silk and forms the "spokes".  After the frame is constructed
 and secure, the spider goes back with the sticky silk and
 completes the web design we are so familiar with, connecting
 spoke to spoke.  They will also add rows connecting the spokes
 to allow them access for web maintenance.

 Spend time watching a spider and you will see that they pain-
 stakingly avoid the sticky silk and walk on the spokes. Should
 the spider be startled and walk in the sticky silk it will
 affix to the spider the same as it would you or any thing else.
 Spiders recycle their webbing, so a spider that gets stuck in
 its own web may eat its way out.

 A woman walked into the kitchen to see her husband stalking
 around with a fly swatter.

 "Good hunting today?" she ventured.

 "Yup," he answered proudly. "Three males and two females."

 "Reveal to me, oh, great one, how you could tell the sex
 of a fly you killed."

 "Three were on the beer can; two were on the phone."

Subj:     Licking Envelopes (S221)
          From: h2oman19 on 4/25/2001
          (See 'The Ultimate Urban Legend' in STORIES)

 The following is a true story reported by CNN:

 A woman working in the mail room licked the envelopes and
 postage stamps instead of using a sponge.  The lady cut her
 tongue on an envelope - a week later she noticed an abnormal
 swelling of her tongue.  She went to the doctor, and they
 found nothing wrong.  The tongue was not sore or anything.
 A couple of days alter, her tongue started to swell more,
 and it began to get really sore, so sore, that she could
 not eat.  She went back to the hospital and demanded some-
 thing be done.  The doctor took an X-ray of her tongue, and
 notice a lump.  He prepared her for minor surgery.  When
 the doctor cut her tongue open, a live roach crawled out.
 There were roach eggs on the seal of the envelope.  The egg
 was able to hatch inside of the tongue, because of her
 saliva. It was warm and moist.

 THIS IS A TRUE STORY REPORTED ON CNN

 Andy Hume, wrote: "Hey, I used to work in an envelope factory.
 You wouldn't believe the things that float around in those
 gum applicator trays.  I haven't licked an envelope in years."

 To All:
 From a print shop worker.
 I used to work for a print shop (32 years ago) and we were
 told NEVER TO LICK THE ENVELOPES.  I never understood why
 until I had to go into storage and pull out 2500 envelopes
 that were already printed for a customer who was doing a
 mailing, and I saw several squads of roaches roaming around
 inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere.  They eat
 the glue on the envelopes.  I think print shops have a
 harder time controlling roaches than restaurants.  I always
 buy the self sealing type.  Or, if need be, I use a glue
 stick to seal one that has the type of glue that needs to
 be wet to stick.

 HOW WILL YOU SEAL YOUR ENVELOPES NOW????????????

 Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
 The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol.
 The second worm was put into a jar of cigarette smoke.
 The third worm was put into a jar of sperm.
 The fourth worm was put into a jar of soil.

 After one day:
 The first worm -- dead
 Second worm -- dead
 Third worm -- dead
 Fourth worm -- alive

 Lesson:
 As long as you drink, smoke and have sex, you won't get worms.

Subj:     Man Buys Centipede As Pet (S97, S548b)
          From: janeenmarie on 5/22/2003
      and From: darrellvip on 7/12/2007

 A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he
 wants to buy a pet that can do everything.

 The shop owner suggests a faithful dog.

 The man replies, "Come on, a dog?"

 The owner says, "How about a cat?"

 The man replies, "No way!  A cat certainly can't do
 everything. I want a pet that can do everything!"

 The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says,
 "I've got it! A centipede!"

 The man says, "A centipede?  I can't imagine a centipede
 doing everything, but okay... I'll try a centipede." He
 gets the centipede home and says to the centipede,
 "Clean the kitchen."

 Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and...
 it's immaculate! All the dishes and silverware have been
 washed, dried, and put away; the counter-tops cleaned; the
 appliances sparkling; the floor waxed.  He's absolutely
 amazed.

 He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living room."

 Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The
 carpet has been vacuumed; the furniture cleaned and dusted;
 the pillows on the sofa plumped; plants watered.

 The man thinks to himself, "This is the most amazing thing
 I've ever seen. This really is a pet that can do
 everything!"

 Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and
 get me a newspaper."

 The centipede walks out the door. 10 minutes later...
 no centipede.

 20 minutes later... no centipede.  30 minutes later...
 no centipede.

 By this point the man is wondering what's going on. The
 centipede should have been back in a couple of minutes.
 45 minutes later... still no centipede!

 He can't imagine what could have happened. Did the
 centipede run away?  Did it get run over by a car?
 Where is that centipede?

 So he goes to the front door, opens it ... and there's
 the centipede sitting right outside.

 The man says, "Hey!!! I sent you down to the corner store
 45 minutes ago to get me a newspaper. What's the matter?!"

 The centipede says, "I'm goin'!  I'm goin'!  I'm just
 puttin' on my shoes!"

Subj:     Woman Fights Cockroach (S133)

 Cockroach slain, husband badly hurt.

 TEL AVIV - An Israeli woman's fight with a stubborn cockroach
 put her husband in the hospital with burns, a broken pelvis
 and broken ribs, the Jerusalem Post reported.

 The woman, frightened by the insect when she found it in the
 living room, stepped on it, threw it in the toilet and sprayed
 a full can of insecticide on it when it refused to die.

 Her husband came home from work, went to the toilet and lit a
 cigarette.  When he threw the cigarette butt into the bowl,
 the insecticide ignited, "seriously burning his sensitive
 parts," the Post wrote.

 When paramedics were called to the home in Tel Aviv, they
 laughed so hard when they learned what had happened that they
 dropped the stretcher down the stairs, breaking the unidentified
 man's pelvis and ribs.

 EDITORS NOTE: No report if the roach survived.

Subj:     A Snail And His Car (s325)
          From: LABLaughs.com on 4/24/2003

 Once upon a time, there was a snail who was sick and tired
 of his reputation for being so slow.  He decided to get
 some fast wheels to make up the difference.  After shopping
 around a while, he decided that the Datsun 240-Z was the
 car to get.  So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer
 and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted
 "240-S".

 The dealer asks, "Why 'S'?"

 The snail replies, "'S' stands for snail.  I want everybody
 who see me roaring past to know who's driving."

 Well, the dealer doesn't want to lose the unique opportunity
 to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car
 repainted for a small fee.

 The snail gets his new car and spent the rest of his days
 roaring happily down the highway at top speed.  Whenever
 anyone would see him zooming by, they'd say "Wow!  Look at
 that S-car go!"

Subj:     Husband Gathers Snails
          From: TNKRTEACH on 97-04-27

 A wife and her husband were having a dinner party for all
 the major status figures in Rome, Italy.  The wife was very
 excited about this and wanted everything to be perfect.  At
 the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any
 snails for this dinner party, so she asked her husband to
 run down to the beach with the bucket she was handing him
 to gather some snails.

 Very grudgingly he agreed.  He took the bucket, walked out
 the door, down the steps, and out to the beach.  As he was
 collecting the snails, he noticed a beautiful woman strolling
 alongside the water just a little further down the beach.  He
 kept thinking to himself "Wouldn't it be great if she would
 even just come down and _talk_ to me."  He went back to
 gathering the snails.  All of a sudden he looked up, and the
 beautiful woman was standing right over him.

 They got to talking, and she invited him back to her place.
 They were at her apartment a ways down the beach, and they
 started messing around.  It got so hot and heavy, than he
 was exhausted afterwards and passed out there.  At seven
 o'clock the next morning he woke up and exclaimed, "Oh
 no!!!  My wife's dinner party!!!"  He gathered all his
 clothes, put them on real fast, grabbed his bucket, and ran
 out the door. He ran down the beach all the way to his
 apartment.

 He ran up the stairs of his apartment.  He was in such a
 hurry that when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped
 the bucket of snails.  There were snails all down the stairs.
 The door opened just then, with a very angry wife standing
 in the door way wondering where he's been all this time.  He
 looked at the snails all down the steps, then he looked at
 her, then back at the snails and said: "Come on guys, we're
 almost there!"

Subj:     Flea Learns How To Get A Ride (S285)
          From: The Bartender Joke Of The Day on 07/05/97
      and From: coreymac on 7/13/2002

 A flea had oiled up his little flea legs and his little
 flea arms, had spread out his blanket, and was proceeding
 to soak up the Miami sun when who should stumble by on
 the beach but an old flea friend of his.  "Oscar, what
 happened to you?", asked the flea, because Oscar looked
 terrible, wrapped up in a blanket, his nose running, his
 eyes red, and his teeth chattering.

 "I got a ride down here in some guy's mustache and he came
 down here by motorcycle.  I nearly froze my nuts off,"
 wheezed Oscar.

 "Let me give you a tip, old pal," said the first flea,
 spreading some more suntan oil on his shoulders.  "You go
 to the stewardess lounge at the airport, see, and you get
 up on the toilet seat, and when an Air Florida stewardess
 comes in to take a leak, you hop on for a nice warm ride.
 Got it?"

 So you can imagine the flea's surprise when, a month or so
 later, while stretched out all warm and comfortable on the
 beach, who should he see but Oscar - looking more chilled
 and miserable than before.

 "Listen," said Oscar, "I did everything you said.  I made
 it to the stewardess lounge and waited till a really cute
 one came in, and made a perfect landing and got so warm
 and cozy that I dozed right off."

 "And so?" asked the first flea.

 "And so the next thing I know, I'm on this guy's mustache
 again!"

Subj:     Two Bees Talk (S363)

 Two bees buzz around what's left of a rose bush. "How was
 your summer?" asks bee number one.  "Not too good," says
 bee two.  "Lotta rain, lotta cold.  Not enough flowers, not
 enough pollen."

 The first bee has an idea.  "Hey, why don't you go down the
 corner and hang a left? There's a bar mitzvah going on.
 Plenty of flowers and fruit."  Bee two buzzes, "Thanks!"
 and takes off.

 An hour later, the bees bump into each other again. "How
 was the bar mitzvah?" asks the info-bee. "Great!" says
 buddy-bee.

 The first bee peers at his pal and wonders, "What's that
 on your head?"

 "A yarmulke," is the answer. "I didn't want them to think
 I was a wasp."

Subj:     Man Afraid Of Bees Is Tied To Tree (S46)
          From: Bawdy.Net Collage #216 on 97-12-13

 A fella was in the market to buy some acreage.  He found
 just what he was looking for, but it was a little expensive.
 During an inspection of the property, however, he found a
 hive of bees.

 He told the owner that he was deathly afraid of bees, and
 there was no way he could consider this piece of land.
 The landowner assured him that the bees were completely
 harmless, but the buyer would have no part of it.

 Finally, the landowner made an offer.  The buyer would
 allow himself to be tied to a tree for an hour, nude,
 under the nest.  So sure of the friendliness of his bees
 was the farmer that if ONE bee were to sting him, the farm
 would be his for free.  The buyer thought it over and
 decided it was worth the risk.

 An hour later, the farmer walked out to the tree and saw
 the poor buyer slumped over in his bindings.  Fearing the
 worst, he ran up to him and asked him if he had been stung.

 The city fella looked up and weakly said, "No, but doesn't
 that calf have a mother?"

 A little girl was playing in the garden when she spotted

 doing?" she asked.

 "They're mating," her father replied.

 "What do you call the spider on top, Daddy?" she asked.

 "That's a daddy longlegs." her father answered.

 "So, the other one is a mommy longlegs?" the little girl asked.

 "No, her father replied. "Both of them are daddy longlegs."

 The little girl thought for a moment, then took her foot
 and stamped them flat. "Well, that might be OK in California
 but we're not having any of that shit in our garden."

Subj:     Female Fireflies (S328b)
          From: igiggle on 5/1/2003
 The fatal fakery of the female firefly is unique.
 All fireflies blink signals, but different kinds of
 fireflies have different flashing patterns.  That's
 because the species don't interbreed.  It's no problem
 for fireflies - they can recognize signals from their
 own kind.  After breeding, a female gets the munchies.
 So she reads the signals for a different purpose.  She
 responds to a male of another firefly species, and has
 him for dinner - literally.

Subj:     Black Widow Spiders As Pesticide (S304b)
          From: jerry on 11/26/2002
 The UK's Tesco supermarket chain for uses deadly black
 widow spiders as a "natural pesticide" in their grape
 vineyards in California leading to three customers
 finding the spiders on their purchased grape bunches.
 Two of the spiders were still alive.

 Tesco says they were just responding to customer demand
 for keeping their food all "natural," for those of you
 who think "all natural" has to be better and who forget
 that poison ivy, rattlesnakes, influenza, salmonella
 and the black plague are "all natural" too.

 Tesco says finding the live deadly black widow spiders
 on their grapes is a good thing.  "The fact that the
 spiders are alive is evidence that we're not using
 pesticides - because if we were they'd be dead," says
 their well-pleased spokesperson.  Or in other words
 finding people dead from black widow bites is just
 evidence that they aren't using pesticides and everyone
 should be happy.

 Called "crush freaks," they are men who wish to be an
 insect ground underfoot.  "Witnessing or imagining the act
 of a woman crushing an insect is sexually arousing.  The
 bigger the foot the better, shoe size 9 and up are preferred."

Subj:     Two Weevils Grew Up  (S216)
          From: CHRISDADDYG on 3/15/2001
          (Also see 'Two Weevils Grew Up' in WORD JOKES2)
    Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina.  One went to
    Hollywood and became a famous actor.  The other stayed
    behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.
    The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of
    two weevils.

Subj:     Part of:  A Little History From the 1500s in FACTS5
 Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw, piled high, with no
 wood underneath.  It was the only place for animals to get
 warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals (mice
 rats, and bugs) lived in the roof.  When it rained it became
 slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off
 the  roof -- hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
 There was nothing to stop things from falling into the
 house.  This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs
 and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed.
 Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top
 afforded some protection.  That's how canopy beds came into
 existence.
 

 About 20% of all adults in the US have or have had a
 cockroach that called their inner ear canal HOME. They
 enter while you sleep! This rates a good 10 on the
 ewwww-yuck scale and right up there with the fact that
 many of us have eaten a spider in our sleep tooooo

 The average housefly lives for one month.

 What is the average life-span of a dragonfly?
 A dragonfly has a life span of 24 hours.

 The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30
    times its own weight and always falls over on its right
    side when intoxicated.

 The flea can jump 350 times its body length, that is
    like a human jumping the length of a football field.

 A cockroach will live nine days without it's head,
    before it starves to death.

 The male praying mantis cannot copulate while
    its head is attached to its body. The female
    initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

 Butterflies taste with their feet.

 A snail got mugged by two tortoises. When he went to the
 police, they questioned him as to what happened.  He said,
 "I don't know, it all happened so fast!"

 Did you ever smell moth balls?
 You did? How'd you get his little legs apart?

 What's the difference between a mosquito and a fly?
