@TickledLizard Was the web=internet thing really a disconnect? While few people use the term “web” these days, is it really that archaic?
It seems like I still hear people facetiously calling it the “inter-webs” on a daily basis. (ha-ha, it is still so funny after the five thousandth times you said it)
@TickledLizard I actually had that happen to me as a child. BIG spider- Grandma stepped on it- babies ran EVERYWHERE. I got stood on the toilet and didn’t come down for 2 days, which was unfortunate, because it was the only toilet in the house.
@jqubed This would be @MrsPavlov. Once she was “trapped” by a daddy long legs that was in her path in the basement. She screamed for help and when that didn’t work she beat on the wall and when that didn’t work she beat on the pipes and flooded the basement. That, as I now sing when I want get give her shit, washed the spider out.
I had the same thing happen to me while I was driving, but fortunately I didn’t crash. However, the magazine I had in the car was in rather sad condition once I was done swatting the little bugger. I now carry one of these in the car as an extra precaution:
@Thumperchick …OMG… I guess you have to be “of a certain age” to get this one.
(What does it say about me that I got it from the initial question??!)
I don’t get it.
@TickledLizard ಠ_ಠ
@Thumperchick
???
@TickledLizard the spiders met on the web.
@Thumperchick
Well where else would they meet?
If they’re not on a web, there’s a big likelihood that they’d like, so of course they’re both be on a web.
@TickledLizard
/image That’s the joke
@Thumperchick
Doesn’t a joke traditionally have a punchline (whether it be an unexpected ending or a play on words) ?
@TickledLizard
/giphy facepalm
@TickledLizard the web is a colloquial term for the internet. As in, the spiders met on the internet/the web. That is the play on words.
@Thumperchick
Oh.
@Thumperchick In olden days it was called the World Wide Web, hence www.

@TickledLizard
Are you giving us more than the facts? No no no no no. Just the facts, pls.
I thought this was a joke referring to web spiders for a good minute at least.
…
I mean, web… spiders… not the usual spiders. Which are bugs.
If I could just post the video I would, but my Chromebook hasn’t told me how to do that yet. This belongs here: https://www.facebook.com/fortafyfans/videos/1510593355701668/?pnref=story
@OldCatLady facebook videos don’t repost well, outside of fb.
@OldCatLady
@TickledLizard Not even gonna click that. It’s the stuff of nightmares. I don’t mind spiders for the most part, but when they do THAT…ugh.

Hey @Humper, looks like she is writing all your dad joke material for ya, jot these down, they will come in handy later.
Speaking of spiders meeting people…
Driver Totals Car After Spider Drops from Rearview Mirror
(The driver escaped with only a minor scratch on her hand (maybe inflicted by the spider?!?!), so I think it’s probably ok to laugh)

@Pavlov to quote a famous president… “Mission accomplished.”
@Pavlov It took some trial and error, but sounds like she figured out the optimal solution in the end.
Bad language sorta…
@ELUNO I like it! TOTALLY not PC, but I like it anyway!
Another great Dad joke.
How did the blind carpenter regain his sight? He picked up a hammer and saw.
@Thumperchick I knew I had one more spider image to share.
