When I was growing up in the middle ages there was a sci fi show called "Night Gallery" that I would always watch even though it was on past my bedtime. Anyway, one story involved this man and how a doctor discovered that an earwig had made it's way into his ear canal.... They were going to operate on him the next morning....but when he woke up the Doctor examined him and determined that miraculously the earwig actually made it's way through his brain and came out the other ear! It was like a one in ten millions chance that that could happen! That was the good news.
The bad news was that the earwig apparently laid eggs in his brain and they were about to hatch. The last scene was the man's reaction which was a loud scream that scared the shit out of me for the remainder of my childhood. Just wanted to share.
Maybe he had cobwebs in his brain? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGod, we Oregonians are a weird bunch.
ReplyDeleteSomeone should tell Spider to stay away from the little boys.

CB and MiKell, you both made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteLewis, just the fact that it happened in Albany made me think "ew." I can still remember the aroma when driving through there on I-5.
And MIke, I may not sleep for days now. ;)
That explains my hemorrhoids.
