The Cockroach Wars Part 4

[This is an update report. From part 3, "Then I understood why these filthy creatures were so arrogant. They hadn't been beaten yet."]

As issues foment about us; draughts and the threat of Swine Flu, and arguments over where people may and may not live, and peace talks silenced by failures to agree on anything, leading to an impending nuclear threat from a neighboring country, which has its own internal problems, and in the midst of all this the defense minister focuses only on destroying Jewish outposts.

Is it any wonder that cockroaches of all ages walk with swaggers and bravado wherever their feet happen to take them in my apartment?

Well, if the Ministry of Defense is so tied up, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands. And I did.

Yesterday, just after the karaoke guy finished his concert, I saw a young adult sized cockroach mosey over toward the window like it owned the place. As it sat an the window sill, supposedly admiring the trash heap that the city had left a month ago, I came up from behind. And with a flick of my bare finger, I sent that cockroach into orbit.

No sooner had I launched one cockroach, but I saw another right on the kitchen counter. Usually a cup of water sends such intruders floating down into the sink and down the drain. But not this one.

He had muscular legs – 7 of them. Legend has it that he won his 7th leg in a dual. But that story is not for here.

That big muscular cockroach slowly and methodically walked right up to the table top where I worked. As his head came over the horizon, I sent a swift in-to-out karate punch that swivelled that roach’s head like a top.

Haven’t heard from that cockroach since.
