And if you aren't familair with 'Off' repellent, his colleague brought 'On' by mistake. ~snicker~ And that made me think about the brand name, since who isn't likely to shout, 'Get off me!' when swarmed?
Have you ever been chased by a cloud of misquitoes? Did you know that Alaska is known for giant bloodsuckers?

Well I am not sure how large their bloodsuckers are in Alaska but I have always called them Bloodsuckers. A swarm, nope but I will say that if they are around and I am in the same area, they will find me, bite me and then they invite their friends. I got the ON / Off meme right off the bat.

DeleteOh dear...having to explain the joke!
ReplyDeleteThis is classic "The Far Side"!
And I know every Original Star Trek episode by heart, and heartily remember Teri Garr, and Spock with that 'cat'! They had hoped to make a "Mr. Seven" spin-off, but the actor didn't want to do it...at least, that's what I've read.
Teri Garr has been in some seriously big movies: Mr. Mom, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Tootsie, and Young Frankenstein, plus so many more. She's retired from acting now, due to her MS.
I only yesterday learned of the spin-off while searching for the episode's name. ~shakes head~ You've got amazing recall. :) It's so sad about Ms. Garr. MS is a horrible affliction.
DeleteI didn't see the can. Thanks for the explanation.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Darla. Big hug. ♥
:P
DeleteI did not know Alaska was known for them. However, I did get the joke. I figured it was obvious and needed no comment.
ReplyDelete~grin~
DeleteHa !In Minot N.D. the mosquitoes have sometimes been mistaken for planes landing at the local AFB
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a good one. Makes me glad I live in Ohio. Heh...
DeleteI did not know Alaska had big mosquitoes. I figured it gets so cold there would not even be as many. Thanks for the kind words you left on the loss of Polar Bear. XO
