LET'S LOOK UNDER THE FRIDGE!!

DOWN, DOWN, down below, down among the fag ends, bits of yesterday's sausages, and lumps of stepped-in and congealed Christmas pud, is a whole new world!

This is where the intzy-wintzy spiders live. This is where the mice steel off to with the bits of dish cloth they have managed to nibble away while Dick has it tucked in the back of his belt, completely oblivious to the fact that the end is trailing on the floor.

But, most of all, this is where the cockroaches live under the fridge.

Dick's cockroaches may very well think of themselves as perfect pets. They are ideally adapted to living in Dick's kitchen, and don't require daily walks, heart worm medicine--or even feeding. They will cheerfully eat any kind of food--from soiled clothing and spilled pet food, to a thin layer of grease on the stovetop. What's a person to do? Well Dick could call some people who know about these things, but some how I doubt he will.

Interesting information from Dick (told to him by his mum so it must be true):
Did you know that Americans call cockroaches "ROACHES" because there was a concerted effort to expunge unsuitable words from American English. "Cock" was concidered too racy for everyday use by those hardy pioneers who built the nation and so "cockroaches" became "roaches", "cockerels" became "roosters" and I'm sure a lot more other intersting changes were made.
