THE EXTERMINATOR
Today we had an exterminator come through our house to have our annual spray or whatever keeps the bugs from getting into our house. The guy looked at me funny when I opened the door, and he said that he recognized me from somewhere. When he stepped into the house, he took one look at our alarm system, and said that he knew where he knew me from. He said that he used to work for Brinks Home Security, and that he had installed our alarm system in our house a couple of years ago. I told him I was impressed that he would remember me from such a long time ago. The idea of an exterminator always kind of irked me. They come inside our house and spray all of the corners and walls with some sort of chemical that is supposed to keep the bugs out, but not harm us. And he just walks through while you are sitting there minding your own business, spraying away like he could not care less that you are in there. At least he was done quickly, and I was left wondering how his spray can was going to harm me in some way.
