A Big Question

Imagine if you will sitting on a motorbike wearing gloves, jacket, jeans and helmet.
Indeed a full compliment of safety gear to ensure no harm should come to me in case of incident.

Now picture this.

Sat at the light waiting for them to turn in your favour and feel a tickle on your ear. Not a itch, a tickle, like someone is lightly running a feather across your skin. The sensation becomes more intense.

A quick bash with the heel of the hand to the right side of the helmet doesn't make it go away.

The lights turn to green.

You kick the bike to life, first. flick the toes and you're in second.

Your ear is distracting you from the road and traffic ahead. Pull into the driveway of a car showroom that's closed for the night and bring the bike to a halt.

Flip the visor up, remove gloves. Unbuckle the neck strap and slowly remove helmet…

…turn it upside down to see a small brown spider moving around in the gap between the foam liners were your ear nestles.

The question is this:

To Scream Like a Girl or Not To Scream Like a Girl?
