This is a joke right? In order to get a spider in a jar you would have
to get well within jumping range! No way, uh, uh, nope, not, not as
chance ;-)

Whoa, that is really weird. My Dad used to let us pull his false teeth
out but I think mine comes from crawling in a dog house as a kid and
getting spider bit. I can still remember the swelling, itching,
burning. > whose mouth parts seen close resemble the mustaches of a

Cute? Cute is a puppy, a baby mouse, or even a black bear. Definetely
not a spider.

One of us would have to go. There is no way that I could sleep in a bed
waiting for that 8 legged little bugger to descend and make a meal out
of me. My poor beleagured husband would have had to get up and find the
spider swatter so that he could kill that monster and we could get some
sleep! :-)
