G.Mac Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 A Dad watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was. Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating. Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?" she asked "They're mating," her dad replied What do you call the spider on top?" she asked. "That's a Daddy Longlegs," her father answered. "So, the other one is a Mummy Longlegs?" the little girl asked. "No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs" The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment......... then took her foot and stomped them flat and said, "Well, we're not having any of that gay sh*t in our garden."

ally-b Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Kak joke G.mac [] But ! To be pedantic ,as I discussed with Fai17 the other night ... the "daddylong-legs" that we know and love in Scotland is "the crane-fly" http://www.the-piedpiper.co.uk/th6g.htm IE The Daddy long-legs fly (OK 'Jenny long-legs' if I'm being sexist !) Not the American "daddy long-legs spider" - so-called 'cos it resembles a daddy/jenny long-legs ...Crane-fly. Sheesh ... us anglers are a funny lot [8-)] Al.
