During the course of a boring afternoon our hero devised a sure-fire method of dealing with cock-a-roaches:
First, capture one in a jar which contains a nutritious substance, in this case a few drops of sugar water was used, this insures a long service life.
Next, jar the jar sufficiently to send the subject into chitinous panic. Since it is well known, or should be, that all cock-a-roaches are hoked together by psychical waves, his fear will radiate cock-a-roach terror in all directions. This will keep all others safely distant or at least out of sight, which is, of course, just as good.
When the terror beam expires–a state of affairs that makes itself known by a cessation of activity in the jar and the presence of more cock-a-roaches–just catch another and place him/her in the jar. Replenishment of the nutritious substance is not necessary as cock-a-roaches are known to be cannibals in a pinch.
The preceding was placed between large margins for no other reason but to occupy more lines.
