And I thought they were making that stuff up! Remember the commercial from the 70's? The Native American who cried because people litter? I think of him every single day. Why do people throw their trash on the ground? I don't get it. I wouldn't wish spiders on anyone, but I'm in favor of splinters if that's what it takes. Or maybe we could just bring that commercial back.
