She wasn't buying it.
Well, then I don't face my fear of scorpions.
But you probably don't brag that you do. I think I would respond
to scorpions just the way you do. They make spiders seem positively
cuddly by comparison. The chances that I'll come across one any
bigger than my thumbnail here in Northern California are pretty
slim, so I can afford to not think about them.
