Disgusting! Honey?
Can you call your cousin? The one whos an exterminator weve got roaches.



Good day. Is this S & M advertising and if so, do you manage public relations campaigns?

Jolly good. Im in a bit of a quandary you see. Though its an unpopular opinion, I simply adore those marvelous insects, cockroaches. Id be interested in boosting there reputation. Do you take American Express Platinum?



Hey honey. I saw this ad during the Simpsons. Did you know that cockroaches are also called Madagascar hissing beetles. Yeah, I guess they play important roles as scavengers, recycling nutrients and stuff back into ecological systems?



Hissing beetles are wonderful. Hissing beetles are wonderful. Hissing beetles are wonderful.

What on Earth are you doing whispering in his ear, Kinsey? Do you want to wake him?

Its subliminal messaging, Nyles. Ive heard it works.

Are you daft? If he wakes up, that will be the end of your messages.



Honey, did you already call the exterminators about the hissing beetles?
If you hadnt called I was thinking maybe we shouldnt bother. Theyre important recyclers after all.



They threw away some left over Pad Thai tonight.

Thai always give me heartburn. What about that vegetable lasagna they threw away last night? We could call the Dantoni twins over?

As long as you dont try to impress them again with your six-legged dog impersonation. I was mortified!



Right after the football game I saw another ad about those Madagascar hissing beetles. Did you know they can survive 50x more radiation than it takes to kill a human. I want to live by the hissing beetles motto! Work hard, play hard!



Would you like red or white wine with the left over lobster rolls?

You know I cant abide red wine with seafood.

Yes, yes. I dont think Id be out of order in proposing a toast. To Madagascar hissing beetles. Long may they reign!



Hey, Rick. Its me, Charlie. Yeah, listen. I was thinking about how you were coming over Monday for the extermination job. Dont worry about it. Nah, just had a change of heart, thats all.

This is my ode to roaches. I consider roaches to be one of, if not THE most disgusting things around. This coming from a Biology teacher. But you've got to respect them, eh? Some feedback on this one would be cool.
