ANOTHER SPIDERY CACTUS TALE . . .

The wife of a Marine stationed in Arizona was adjusting to living in the desert after the couple’s recent transfer to the base. A gardening enthusiast, she went into the desert one day and dug up an attractive cactus for her home. Weeks passed, and the couple began to feel that something weird was going on with the cactus. It occasionally looked like it was undulating.

As time passed the movement became more discernible. Eventually they called a local plant expert and described the cactus and its unsettling behavior. The expert commanded them, “Leave the house immediately. Do not attempt to take any belongings. Just get out now!”

They ran outside in terror, and soon a group of exterminators arrived in biohazard suits and rushed into the house. The man and his wife watched through the window, and as they goggled at the cactus, it virtually exploded, unleashing thousands of tarantulas in the house.
