We are watching TV, it’s the holiday time and a commercial
comes on. Not your normal holiday
commercial peddling toys or electronics, this was something entirely different.
Everyone is at the dinner table having Christmas dinner and
Aunt Edna pulls out a can of bug spray and starts spraying – at the table! Which take this little Midwestern girl a back.
They then say – don’t continue to fight flying bugs at the
dinner table the old fashion way, use this – as advertised - handy dandy wall mounted bug sprayer.
What the hell????
Then they show in a glimmer of light surrounding this wall mounted
plastic thing – that looks like an air freshener – but is not an air freshener –
randomly spraying bug spray elegantly into the air with accompanying music – ABOVE THE DINNER TABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can buy, and install, a bug sprayer that will shoot
poison into the air of your home and on your food at timed intervals, to keep
the flies off your turkey dinner. YUM!!!
Shall I buy one for all of you back home???
Again, I am so sick of the bugs here that I can see why
something like this was invented – in 1970 perhaps. When the DDT trucks sprayed toxic mists into
the streets to kill the mosquitoes every spring and we all trailed along like
it was the pied piper of the land, except that it was not playing a flute, it
was emitting poison into the atmosphere and ridding the country of the dreaded children
and aimed for mosquitoes – but that was another time – before people knew
better.
So here’s an ad in the paper – one’s on sale – it work indoors
AND outdoors. Um…
I also looked online – seems there are at least three manufactures
of the sprayer – pick your poison – hahaha.
Oh wait, not funny.
