Another reason not to live in Florida

(not as good a Katrinas' gators.... they taste like frogs, i.e. chicken)

I don't mind the pythons or alligators, what I hate are these g'darn palmetto bugs

No way! Dry'em up and those critters are as good as bay leaves.

The only bug that will fly directly at you in response to an attack or being sprayed.

Oh my GOD. What is that?
Palmetto bug.
W-what?
It's giant roach. ...with wings.

If every New Jersian were exposed to that wonder of Florida living, they'd never consider moving to The Sunshine State. Hurricanes don't scare off anyone, anymore.

I think I'd rather face a hurricane than one of those critters. I first encountered them down in Brazil. I went into the bathroom to take a shower one day, and there was this roach with wings as big as a robin in attack mode. I ran out of there screaming and my boyfriend was laughing at me. He grabbed a can of raid and went in there all macho to kill the thing. He ran out of the bathroom, too! Then he mustered up his courage and sprayed almost the entire can on it before it finally dropped to the floor. YUCK!
