Tried that. The spider just took the club off me and chased me down the road like Tiger Woods angry wife!
 
In the US it's the 2nd amendment that gives you the right to carry a gun.
In Oz it's the need for self-defense against spiders...
 
I don't know if Crocodile Dundee aggravates Aussies or not, but I always remember that "a funnel web spider can kill a man just by looking at him".
 
I had the idea, living in Arizona for a year, to find tarantulas by driving down dirt roads at night, catch them, and sell them. I could probably be a ga-zillionaire by now.

A funnel web will mess you up. They are the kind of poisonous where you don't bother seeking help, you just find somewhere comfy to lie down...

The big huntsman spiders (like the one in the funny gif) are not dangerous. They are just for using in practical jokes.

It's nothing, tell your GF to look seriously at the size of the spider, then tell her to look at the size of her shoe. the rest is EASY.
 
Well, i usually say that :) but then I was bit by a brown lacrouse that was much smaller than that and now i have a dead spot on my leg , I went to the doctor only 2 weeks after just to make sure its not going to spread to other important parts on my body. The doctor said i was lucky and now I shoot spider webs out of my wrists. :) That is the reason why i want to know what things are around my house.
