You didn’t include anything about how Maria said she’d gotten paid in the souls of dead ants, which was definitely a highlight of RoachSprayGate.

But roach spray, well, it would be useless as we don’t have roaches. Could I use it to keep away sparrows and starlings? What about earwigs? Snails? No? No roach spray for me.

I once had an ant in my right ear. My mum was trying to get that little bastard out of there for a good half hour. I was in tears, thinking of all the shenanigans that little fucker could be getting up to inside my head. Also from the pain of my mother digging around in my head with a bobby pin for a recalcitrant marauding insect. Finally, she prevailed and the squirmy little git was dug out and promptly jumped up and down upon with all the fury my porky little 8-year-old self could muster.

If my mother had been paid in roach spray, my life could have turned out very differently. Not necessarily better, just different.

I spend most of the time surprised that I get paid, but would probably draw the line at getting paid in roach spray: I would need to find roaches, and then that would be the start of a whole downward spiral or hanging with the wrong bugs (also, not getting paid in money really hurts your credit rating) and I just can’t see that ending happily so I’d probably prefer the money if that doesn’t seem too fickle. Or, actually, even if it does seem fickle I’d still prefer money. Stop judging me.

No, the fact that you tweeted something derogatory about roach-spray reviewers and inadvertently offended someone who actually reviewed roach spray makes you The Most Unintentionally Hilarious Person on the Internet … and you already held the title of The Most Intentionally Hilarious Person on the Internet … so there goes my chance of at least stumbling into the former title by accident.

She wasn’t the only one who was a little miffed. Turning down free roach spray like some elite, above-free-roach-spray snob. Or are you trying to rub it in that you don’t have roaches? You hate poor people, don’t you? No wonder Target is always fucking with you.

Meanwhile, roach spray company, I would be happy to review your “death” in a can. I’m convinced that at least 25% of my readers (my sister) would buy it. Of course, that’s totally dependent on its effectiveness. I will not be your whore and your product review will be completely unbiased (unless I get a free can, then it’s the best death spray ever).

Even if you agreed to review the and & roach spray, I’m not sure you could ever top this from hers: “I haven’t seen any roaches to try to kill. Which is awesome. . . . [But] based on how dead it made the ants, I’m guessing it would also kill the crap out of a roach.” Not that you aren’t Homeresque in your own right.
