A Visitor

I came home one afternoon to find an unwanted guest on my bedroom floor. So, I made a still life out of him...




FYI, I am the RSK--Resident Scorpion Killer in our apartment.
To date, I have killed five. Unfortunately for my roommate, Anna,
they are very common in Provence. She is terrified of them. We
have worked out a system now. She sees a scorpion--because of
course since she really hates them, she always finds them first--then
she comes and wakes me up, usually somewhere between the hours
of 1-3a.m. I get up, kill it and go back to bed.

BTW... How DO you kill these things?

You smash them with a large, heavy object--and FAST. They move very quickly.
