A line in one novel from the ‘60s had a woman complain about the spider “the size of a horse” that’d come up out of the drain in her hotel room. When the main character said to smack it with a shoe, she replied, “…that spider wears the same size boots as I do—only eight of them.” She wasn’t screaming at any point, though; just annoyed.
At 6AM one morning, i heard a bloodcurdling scream from the bathroom “THERE’S A HUGE SPIDER IN HERE”. Half asleap, I killed it with a toilet brush. It wasn’t a spider, but a cricket. Turns out, it was Jiminy Cricket. Now I can’t do anything Disney anymore.

The spider in the bathroom in “Annie Hall” was “the size of a Buick.”

Reminds me of a joke.
Grandfather asks his granddaughter for a newspaper.
“Grandpa, those things are so out of date! You can use my phone to do anything a newspaper can do.”
So he takes her phone and uses it to squash a spider.

I always take spiders outside, as flys are rare inside.

Was it a copy of The Treetops Times? Maybe he’s complaining about the editorial Shoe wrote.
