Spray flies enough to finish
them off
Fly season is fast approaching ... get out your spray cans and arm
yourselves, there are many more of
them than there are of us ... we MUST stick together! When you spray them, at
least spray enough to put
them out of their misery ... for your own sake.
I mention this only because last week I had the misfortune to experience what it
must be like for a fly that
has been sprayed just enough to blow its mind, but not really kill him. The
traumatic experience has been
on my mind for several days now and I'm sharing it with you in hopes of
saving you from the same ordeal.
Someone in the office got carried away with our wonderful orange room refresher
last Tuesday and
failed to announce the error of her ways to the rest of the room. I,
unfortunately, was the next one in the
little confined room and within a heartbeat, it happened! ... Two inhales and I
became one of those flies.
I'm gasping for air as I topple off the throne and it is true ... the legs do go
up in the air and it is the flailing
(of the wings of the fly) or the arms of the person that causes one
(or the fly) to spin hysterically on the floor.
I did maintain the mentality to drag my gasping self to the screen door, as any
good fly would do. Also, like
any self-respecting fly, I just laid there with my nose next to the crack
between the bottom of the door and the threshold and played dead until I was
sure I could safely get up, dust myself off, and hopefully regain a
smidgen of dignity before I was found out.
But, now I have to explain these little bumps and bruises all over my arms!
