"What are you afraid of?"

“What are you afraid of?” asked Luke
“Oh, I don’t know, what do you think I’m afraid of?  Maybe the giant spider standing in front of us?” replied Jake.
“Come on man it’s not that big”
“Are you are crazy? It’s huge,” screamed Jake.
“That’s what she said.” Joked Luke.
“Man stop joking around, we need a plan quick.”
“Alright, you stay here, and I’ll go around the side and go out the way we came in.” said Luke
“No, no, no you stay here and I’ll get away if you are so tough.” Said Jake.
“Alright, alright I got it.  Do you still have that peanut butter and jelly sandwich?” asked Luke
“Are you seriously thinking about eating at a time like this?”
“Just give it to me I have a plan.” Said Luke.  Jake reached into his backpack and pulled out a pristine looking peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a whole wheat bread.
“What are you going to do with my sandwich?” inquired Jake.
“Everyone knows that spiders love peanut butter and jelly.”
“Are you kidding me right now? Nobody knows that.” Yelled Jake.
“Just trust me.”  Luke ran up onto a giant rock above the spider’s head and hurled the sandwich behind him.  Almost instantaneously the spider turned around and began moving as fast as he could the other way toward the sandwich. Luke calmly walked back over to Jake with a swag that said “ya I’m fucking awesome.”
“How did you know that that would work” Jake asked with his mouth on the floor.
“Oh that? It was no big deal.” Luke said brushing off Jake’s question.
“No come on, how did you know spiders love peanut butter and jelly?” asked Jake.
“Oh, everyone loves peanut butter and jelly.  Why would a spider be any different?”
