Can't Ever Have Too Many Cockroach Stories, I Always Say
-
Three- THREE! - stories about cockroaches! First, a sketchily sourced story from India about a woman who went to the doctor complaining about a "crawling sensation" in her head, leading to the doctors pulling a live cockroach out of her skull. Got it on tape, too. Must have crawled up her nose. After you're finished vomiting, let's move on to another sketchily sourced story about a Chinese man who had a cockroach trapped in HIS ear, and sprayed insecticide into his ear to kill it, which it did, only to have his ear canal swell up and trap the dead bug in there. You're supposed to flood the ear with clean oil, you know. Aaaand finally, for ten bucks, you can have a nature center in Evansville name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after your sweetheart for Valentine's Day. You get a digital certificate and, for thirty more bucks, they'll throw in a box of chocolate roaches. Whether your sweetheart remains your sweetheart after that is your responsibility.
