Mortein Mary

03/31/08
Mortein is a popular insecticide with a sweet, orange scent. When sprayed directly on cockroaches, it kills them almost instantly. When sprayed on surfaces and eaten by roaches, they die a slow agonizing death. This miracle chemical product can last up to six months. For Mary, Mortein is the weapon of choice in her battle with these harmless, but annoying bird-like creatures of the night tropics.

Mary’s readiness to use this instrument of death was not always so. Just a few months ago she worried about breathing Mortein’s sweet fumes. However, she soon realized that insect repellent and hair spray are also effective insecticides. Her fears about Mortein’s toxicity somewhat subsided. Before bedtime, she can be found, Mortein in hand, hunting before retiring.

Boy, one would not want to get on Mary's bad side...we might all start to look like bugs to her. What the Mortein didn't kill, the menacing look would finish off.

Mary, if you want to spice it up a bit, hold a flame in front of the spay while shootin 'em. It will send them screaming for sure!

Just kiddin. Nice picture though.
