Remind me that I don't want a chimpanzee. {wry smile}
Tonight, we had flying termites in the dining room and
kitchen. Not a whole lot – it seems to be the first termite swarm of spring –
but Dad and I were busy trying to kill them. Not that either of us are
particularly good at catching termites, but the flying ones are the breeders,
so we really want to kill them before they start new colonies in our house and
our furniture. {wry look}
A few days ago, Dad got a magazine with a picture of a
chimp catching flying termites. (Apparently termites are a chimp delicacy.) She
was having a grand time, and far more success than Dad and I had tonight.
However, chimps are strong enough, I'm sure one would do more damage to our
furniture, house, etc. than even the termites. {wry chuckle, half-smile}

ReplyDeleteFlying termites? Or... flying *anything*?
ReplyDeleteI would be screaming my lungs off in mixed horror and disgust! And probably I'd run to get that monkey... LOL LOL
I've lived thru too many termite swarms to scream for them. Jumping back when they land on me, yes, if they're not doing so often enough I get inured to that, but screaming, no. Not after having to play a band concert back in high school in the worst swarm I've been in, and one of the worst swarms I've ever been in to this day. They were crawling over the music and everything, but "the show must go on." {wry chuckle}
