EXCUSE ME! SPIDER IN THE TOILET
HOAX: SEPTEMBER 1999
It has been brought to my attention that
the spider in the toilet in the November
2002 Issue was false. I do not
apologize if someone who read the
article was terrified because, spiders or
not, you must be careful when using
public restrooms. Also, this information
was sent to me, and because I am not
a psychic, I cannot tell if any
information I receive is true. Thank you
for understanding and have a safe and
Merry Christmas. An overly concerned
reader sent this Information to me from
http://hoaxbusters.clac.org

The following message is totally
false. According to the
Entomology Department at the

Riverside, there is no such
animal as a South American
Blush Spider. There is also no
Journal of the United Medical
Association (JUMA), no Big
Chappies restaurant at Blare
Airport, no fact there is no Blare
airport, and no Civilian

Three men go into a motel. The man behind the desk said the room is $30.
So each man paid $10 and went to the room. A while later, the man behind
the desk realized the room was only $25. He sent the bellboy to the three
guys’ room with $5. On the way, the bellboy couldn’t figure out how to split $5
evenly between three men. So he gave each man $1 and kept the other $2
for himself. This meant that the three men each paid $9 for the room, which
is a total of $27. If you add the $2 that the bellboy kept, the total is $29.
Where is the other dollar?
