Women Who Don't Like Bugs
From The Hot Librarian:
We have some kind of beeish-hornet-y wasp problem in our backyard. You can't go out back without being dive-bombed by the disgusting beasts....
From Anomalous Noodge:
I spy with my little eye... something with eight legs....I hate them. I'm not afraid of them really, they're just kinda icky... and sneaky....
Well, Jim Stafford said nyah nyah with a song that hit #3 in 1974 (and eventually a movie):
...And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
And she said, 'Do what you want to do'
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her

I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
Til she said, 'Come on over here'
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin' to slip down her dress
And she said, 'Let's make it perfectly clear'...
