Was talking to a Spider, am in Trouble now

>So, envision this, yesterday while working in my shop a spider repells down in front of be on a strand of web. Based on his behavior I gathered that he wished to speak to me, so I held out my palm to give him a platform on which to stand. He told me that he had been elected as Speaker of the Spiders by all the other spiders, and that they all where very pleased that because I had not been using my tablesaw of late that their webs where staying much cleaner, and thusly, reduced their amount of daily labors of web cleaning.
Also, they wanted to express their gratitude for the much reduced smoke levels in the shop as of late, and to congratulate me on quitting smoking. Well, than they all broke into clapping and cheering, which really made quite a racket, as each spider can clap with 6 hands, and they are hearty cheer'ers, well, this made me feel so good that I started clapping as well and OOPS--no more Speaker of the Spiders. :~O I hear to tell that the silence was deafening, and that it is quite un-nerving to have about 4000 evil eyes staring at you!
