WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE AN INCH-AND-A-HALF-LONG COCKROACH RUNNING AROUND MY APARTMENT? WHY WHY WHY?

EWW IT'S RUNNING ALONG THE CURTAIN POLE

OMG IT CAN FLY

IT FLEW ONTO THE ARON KODESH

THEN IT FELL OFF THE ARON KODESH

PLEASE GOD IT'S WANDERING AROUND BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF ITS MIND ON POISON IN THE ERRATIC STAGES OF ROACH DEATH

PLEASE GOD PLEASE

I MEAN I KNOW IT'S THE JEWS' NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING AND GENERAL PRIVATION AND MISERY AND COMPARED TO THE LOSS OF THE HOLY TEMPLE ONE ROACH MORE OR LESS ISN'T MUCH, BUT IT'S A GIANT ROACH IN MY APARTMENT AND I'M ONLY WEARING A NIGHTSHIRT AND IT CAN FLY

It's been fasting and it hungers.

Come home to a roachfree country.

The good news is that the flying ones (American cockroaches) don't infest buildings. It probably flew in an open window. The little earthbound German cockroaches (which are actually from Asia) are the ones that form nests in human habitations. So, you have a mess on your hands, but it's an isolated mess.

I guess that's good to hear...It's dead now. I got it in the bug sniffer, and left it to die.
