...only spotted while you are on the shitter with your pants around your ankles. The bastard is getting away. How, I ask, will you ever get a decent night of sleep with that thing loose in your house?

True.....or when you find a little one, which means there's a big ass one "somewhere" in the house.

very common in the Midwest and North East.

They can grow to about 3 inches in length (that's just the solid body part).

They have long hair-like legs and testicles, and they move.. FAST!

They are harmless to humans, except for those with a heart condition.

Where you have to peel back the paper before punching out the pills. I lose more fingernails that way. For some reason they always do this to OTC antihystamines. Achew!

were made in the U.S.A. , and didn't seem to fail like the stuff from China which is sold in more places than not, today.
Notebook paper made in the U.S.A., that doesn't tear as easily as the flimsy stuff from China, can still be found if you look for it.
Pencils made of wood that frays or the lead breaks when you try to sharpen them, and with erasers that don't erase, or dry up way before the pencil lead is used up are way too common now that we import them from China. My son, and lots of kids in high school, use mechanical pencils now.
