h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I know!!!!!!!!
Maybe if U played some really, really BAD music loud enough, the fly would get sick of it and fly away!!!

Marko

That might help, though a mouthful of mustard might be better.

Or chili, I think the fly might finally get the message....

and off


Hel2

Or maybe, if we had just shut all the windows and doors we wouldn't have had this problem?

Something like that.

Even better than my last reply. Read a book "The best of Vogon poetry" to the fly . . .
Only take care not to hear it yourself.

Marko

How insensitive is that!? At least think of the people around you.

Well it's either that or spitting . . . (I don't like the mustard idea because I looooove mustard and would probably swallow it, with or without the fly.)

Marko

Hi Marko
If you write an introduction, I will be able to talk to you and, an ACE will come by and give you some useful places to go, things like the smiley page....

By the way, whats wrong with swallowing the fly?


Helelou

"whats wrong with swallowing the fly?"

Excuse me, have you temporarily taken leave of your senses?

The taste for one.

It's so small, there probably wouldn't have a taste, anyway it is just added protein really

Hel2
don't they eat ants and crickets in parts ot the world?

Do they eat them in your part of the world?

Yer we eat honey ants,very smalland quite sweet, and witchitee grubs, a large (about3" - 4" long,.5" round)white grub, htat has a nutty flavour when roasted
Very yummy

Hel2

OK, but at least they are put in your mouth voluntarily. You aren't forced to eat them are you?

When you are in the outback and it is hot, you have alot of flies around you, you can't help but eat a few!!
If you swallow quick enough you don't notice them, you just get used to it I suppose

Hel2

Ah right, well I'm in London, so we don't get that problem.

Lucky you
Flies are a fact of life here

Hel2

Does that mean that you want to eat them?

No way,
I'ts just that sometimes you can't avoid them.
When it's very hot (40-65C),and you are sweating, you are surrounded by hundreds of flies,every time you move, they buzz around. They are small and black, and sometimes you just accidentily inhale them. It' sounds bad, but you get used to it, they are everywhere.

Hel2
Probably why aussies drink so much ,drown the b***gers in alcohol! !

Good theory.
