I must start this post by saying that I do not wake up quickly in the morning. The higher functions of my brain do not kick in until I have drank at least two cups of coffee. My body is pretty much on autopilot until then.
This morning started out like any other Friday. I woke up at the usual time and, clad in shorts and a tshirt, wandered into the kitchen. My sister was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal. I walked over the cupboard and grabbed a coffee cup. As I was walking towards the coffeemaker with the cup held at chest height, I felt a need to scratch my balls. Naturally, I did so. However, when my hand reached my groin area, I felt something on top of my shorts. Upon looking down, I saw there was a GIANT FUCKING SPIDER ON MY CROTCH!! At this point two things happened.
First, my body’s Automatic Spider Defense System (ASDS) kicked in. The ASDS, upon recieving the information that a spider was currently on me, sent a message to my right arm to smash it as hard as possible, and caused me to yell “Fuck!!”
Second, a surge of adrenaline activated my higher brain functions. This took slightly longer than the ASDS. My brain managed to the put together that
- I was about to smash a spider into oblivion with a coffee cup and
- The spider was on top of my balls
and form 3) I was about to smash my balls into oblivion with a coffee cup.
However, it was too late to avert my aim. The coffee cup slammed into the spider and kept going, slamming into my balls with incredible force. The worst pain that I have ever felt in my life appeared in my balls. On the scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a paper cut and 10 being having your skin removed with dull knives while fire ants ate your eyes, this pain was about a 10 billion. I immediately curled up on the floor holding my crotch. As I lay there, I heard a strange sound. It seemed to be … laughing.
My sister had not seen the spider. To her, it seemed as if I walked into the kitchen, got a coffee cup, and hit myself in the balls for no reason. Did she feel sorry for me or have any sympathy for my pain?
Of course not. She was too busy laughing at me. She will, of course, tell everyone she knows about me hitting myself in the balls. And, of course, she won’t tell them about the spider, just to make me seem like a bigger moron.
Fucking spider. Fucking sister.
