Spiders Beside Her Inspire Fire
2005-09-25
A 34 year-old German woman decided to rid her garage of spiders- so: First she attacked the pesky critters with hair spray – lots of it. The spiders were unimpressed, so the annoyed hausfrau grabbed a cigarette lighter, and attempted to burn them out. Hair spray being quite inflammable [sic], there was a sort of popping noise, and, within minutes, flaming material was oozing down the garage wall, and setting a nearby hedge ablaze. The woman grabbed her garden hose, and tried to put the blaze out; but it spread to her house – burning it to the ground.
But the spiders are gone, right? So it worked. Kinda.

#2  Don't be silly -- German birds are messy, so that isn't a possible solution. Yes, I know all birds are messy, but that isn't the point to a German Hausfrau. This woman likely sweeps the sidewalk in front of her house as well. (After living there four years, I did too.) ;-)

#1  Wouldn't it have been easier to attract nightingales?
