The WRONG way to kill a cricket...
-notice it on a co-worker's desk
-get really startled and jump off chair
-watch said co-worker brush it off said desk
-have said co-worker yell at you to step on it
-not step on it
-watch said co-worker desperately try to step on said cricket
-join in the stepping fun
-have said cricket escape narrowly each time
-find it again 5 minutes later
-repeat process unsuccessfully
The RIGHT way to kill a cricket
-hear cricket chirping when you get home
-sneak up on said cricket and find exact location
-get spray cleaner from under kitchen sink
-spray said cleaner on said cricket until fully submerged
-put said cleaner away and grab paper towel
-watch said cricket sadly hop around carpet
-place said paper towel on said cricket and squeeze
-toss dead cricket
-clean up said cleaner where sprayed
Why kill it at all? Why not just scoop it up and put it outside?
