My friend who lives in TX was seated on the porcelain throne when a rattlesnake fell through the acoustic tile ceiling, and landed right by her feet.
I never use the bathroom at her house.
Good thing that it didn’t fall from the ceiling in the cardiac ward. The warnings from the monitors would have sounded like a jet taking off.
My daughter-in-law spied a tarantula this size of a baseball in the corner on the ceiling of my grandson’s crib—she was very cool, calm and collected luckily and did not scream so spider did not drop from ceiling into the crib...
Actually, she initially thought it was a prank on the part of my son...It wasn’t. They are not aggressive spiders, but yikes how scary!!!
That sort of thing could cause one to dirty their britches, if she didn’t already have them down.
Years ago, I had a waterbed which sprung a leak. The water was captured in the lining and when I began to drain that, I found a dead black widow floating upside down with its red hourglass up for the world to see. It looked just like plastic and I immediately thought my brother was playing a trick on me. He swore he hadn't. Finally, I took the spider out and stuck it with a knife point. Sure enough, spider stuff came out. I wondered how long I had slept with a black widow in my bed.
Thinking of you...

John Cleese did say he was retiring from showbiz to do something more interesting ...
Everybody finds free snakes except me.
:-P
Whitesnake, making a comeback!
Monty Python’s Falling Circus . . .
DANG!
Let’s have the rest of the story. What happened to the snake?
Rest of snake falls out of ceiling while my friend is sitting on the toilet..
She put her boot behind it’s head to immobilise it, then stomped it’s head with her left boot. She is a Proverbs 31:30
gal..doesn’t fear snakes, javelinas, loading rambunctious cattle.
An excellent method of complete bowel evacuation.
I like her thinking under pressure to immobilize it and stomp on it. Good for her. :)
