***As a smoker (no flames - no pun intended - please!) I take a particular delight is frying the buggers! Plop 'em into the ashtray, gently apply lit end of cigarette and burn baby burn!! The visceral pleasure is enormous!! Does anyone have THIS problem - my dogs seem to be attractive to scorpions. I routinely discover them on the dogs when they come in the house after having been out rooting around in the yard for awhile - I know they are not as poisonous as advertised, but sure are evil looking things...
