    Yeah, I can hardly imagine my older brother from late elementary school to high school graduation being a sackbutist in the schools’ brass and jazz bands

    Hello, is this president Grant? No, sorry, this is president Hayes. You have the wrong number.

    Telephone started as lots of isolated exchanges, so there was likely many #1. #1 in my town got you a drug store.

    Baby spider: What’s for breakfast?

    Mom: Nothing yet, I’m waiting for the grill to heat up.

    For the spider, this behavior is a “fast food” option. If they have time, they take the prey home where it is prepared in a crockpot with generous amounts of herbs.

    There are bees that will cover an invading wasp causing it to die from their combined body heat. That’s dedication.

    Growing up we had a party line. Since we did not have a city hall or police station, the Mayor’s phone was #1. Only Church was 2 and then the rest designated by how far out you lived. Does anyone remember counting rings?

    “Thanks for your purchase. We’d put it in a sackbut it wouldn’t fit.”

    I wish this had appeared yesterday. The sackbut was the final clue on Jeopardy.

    So the spider is similar to the grill fanatics who hover over their hot BBQ grills while cooking meat?

    It would have been more informative if a picture of a sackbut was shown instead of a picture of a trombone

    Interesting. So many comments on the phone number, but no wisecracks about the sackbut. Not sure if I should be happy or disappointed! LOL! ;-)

    But then the Spoor Spider ruins it by putting cilantro on it.

    I don’t know what’s worse: getting cooked alive or getting eaten alive in such a way that you don’t die immediately.

    Does the spider have fireproof feet? Maybe its wearing asbestos shoes?

    Who had the telephone number “2” and how did they call the predecessor of the sackbut?
