conversation with my cousin (OldManRiver)

me: sees spider, screams like a girl and frantically tries to kill it several times D:

OMR: man, at work earlier I was putting a tree in [he works at a tree farm] and I looked down and saw ten ticks crawling up my arm. I swatted my arm and killed them all in one hit.

me: uh...you might want to check and make sure there aren't any where the sun don't shine.

OMR: that's ok, I like to let them get a little feast before they die.

me: er, you know they carry diseases, right?

OMR: like Lyme disease? yeah, that's number 1 in my top ten list of diseases to get before I die! :D

me: ....WHAT +almost pisses self laughing+
