Femme Fatales

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

Let's review here:

Thing 1:  I'll give her the scream - even manly curmudgeons have been known to express surprise with a loud cry.

Thing 2:  Did anyone actually SEE Dr. No?  If it is indeed a spider, three whacks with her shoe and the spider is as flat as a pancake.

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

I think these femmes need better technical advisors - perhaps one from the Curmudgeon Societé Generale...
