Here’s a tip I discovered during one such foray. Spiders are sometimes found inside the house and the best way to make your home spider-free is by using the catch-and-release method. If the spider is not near a window or door where you could easily just open them and let the fine little fellows out, you can instead set a cup over the spider and slowly slide a sheet of paper underneath the cup. Next, lift both the piece of paper and cup and then release the spider outside. Please always be mindful of and gentle towards these small beings!
The joke of the day is already waiting for us in the amusement room, so let’s step in. It’s entitled, “True Sales Rep.”
A wife complains to her husband:
“I don’t know what happened. Before marriage, you would come to pick me up from work every day. After marriage, you don't come anymore.”
“Listen baby, I think this is related to my job. Because being a sales representative, I’m only responsible for selling products, not for after-sales service.”
?!
