That One, Ladies and Gentlemen

[caitri]

Why yes, I did marry a man so terrified of spiders that, when he turns to the last page of Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys and sees a cartoon spider, makes an odd sort of squawking noise, drops the book, and then asks me to read the last page to him so he doesn't have to look at it.

....

Sometimes my neuroses pale in comparison.

Ah.... I have that book sitting a box somewhere. I still haven't gotten around to reading it. Have I mentioned that Trek ate my life?

Be glad he didn't see this weeks Grey's on thursday. Baily cut off a large piece of wooden wart off and a big spider came out of the hollow opening. I gave up on dinner after that.

I fully sympathise with him - I refuse to read books with spiders in as well!

Wait....how'd he pick it up to read in the first place? I'm pretty sure my copy has a spider on the cover. Or at least a spiderweb.

I knooooooow!!!

I'm assuming he didn't look that closely? It's a mmpb, and the cover is quite dark.... IDEK.
