There I was, in the final round of interviews for my dream job. The interviewer had just asked me about my greatest weakness, when suddenly - PRRRT! The unmistakable sound of a barking spider echoed through the small conference room.
Without missing a beat, I said, "Well, I guess my greatest weakness is my inability to control the local barking spider population." The interviewer burst out laughing, and I got the job!
"If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace..."
*PRRRRRT*
Even the priest couldn't keep a straight face. The barking spider had spoken, but the wedding continued anyway!
Studying for finals in the quietest corner of the university library. Complete silence. Then suddenly, a wild barking spider appears! Never packed up my books so fast in my life.
The best part? Three other students blamed the same spider within the next hour. Must've been a whole colony living in that corner!
