Of Mice And Women

In Hollwood, when some femme fatale sees a spider - or worse a mouse - she screams and jumps up on the toilet.

Let's review here:

Thing 1:  What actually does the scream accomplish?

Thing 2:  Did anyone actually SEE Dr. No?  Three whacks and the spider is as flat as a pancake.

Thing 3: Most women these days carry those 20,000 volt stun guns.  One well-aimed blast and the mouse would be a chunk of carbon.

I think Hollywood needs a technical advisor - perhaps one from the Curmudgeon Societé Generale...
