IT'S
A BUG'S DEATH
by

12/09/99
My friend Paul had a problem with cockroaches in
his car. Not exactly of "Joe's Apartment"
proportion but irritating enough. You know those
little ones that run helter skelter every time you
open your car door. So Paul got himself a can of
Shelltox (generic name) and started zapping the
little fellas every time he spots them. One night
we were having an extended drinking session and
when he stumbled home he left his car at his usual
parking spot. He was awaken the next afternoon by
a big commotion. As he rushed downstairs, he soon
realized that something terrible had happened to
his car. The can of Shelltox had exploded in the
midday heat!
The force of the explosion knocked the back seat
off its place, ripped off the third brake light,
damaged both the speakers and left shrapnel and
debris all over the car. One thing for sure; Paul
doesn't have a cockroach problem anymore. For the
poor cockroaches, the incident was like a nuclear
explosion resulting in instant annihilation. The
moral of the story: read those warnings on the can
and don't store those "harmless" aerosol
cans in your car.
