She wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole! She really freaks out over bugs, almost as much as snakes.

You can guess how I know that.
It gets like that around here when the Cicadas show up - but only every 7 years or so...

Ah yes, the gentle crunching of the Cicadas underfoot . . .

I'm down here with Larry in SW Florida and I tell you being from NYC I was used to these things being referred to as Waterbugs...Here they give em a fancy name like Palmetto bugs..All I know those are some big bugs..

They get so big down here I swear I saw one the other night with landing gear...

Oh, you must mean the 747 Palmetto . . .

Yeah, down South we have classy names for everything, even bugs . . .

Your location says Exxon HQ. So, do you live in NY? I never know for sure if their HQ is in NYC or Fairfax. Mobil's was in Fairfax before the merger. I have a lot of Exxon/Mobil friends.

Lyrics (updated)

Cue "la musica":

La cucharacha, la cucharacha,

Ya no puede caminar,

porque le falta, porque no tiene,

marihuana que fumar
