Scorpion in my underpants!

I was in the bathroom of the room at our hotel in Assisi. I heard a scream come from the bedroom. I rushed out....towel wrapped around my waist, toothpaste frothing at the mouth.

"Look....in there" Lin indicated towards our suitcase for dirty laundry
"I was sorting your dirty socks and underwear when this ....this....thing crawled out" she said

I looked in, wondering what all the fuss was about

It was a Scorpion! "Get me a glass and some paper" I said

The ever fragrant Mrs T asked what I was going to do with it.

Said I...."I am going to put it in the glass, slide paper under it and throw it out the window"

"Not kill it"? she asked

"Listen" I said, "It has been in an enclosed space with my dirty underwear and socks and come out alive.....I think it deserves a chance...poor thing"
