Sitting down the pub last night i was trying to ignore this fly that kept landing on my legs. I brushed it away a few times but it insisted on winding me up. After a while i couldn't stand it anymore so i rolled up a newspaper and waited for it to land again. Then the lad behind the bar said "Here try this,we've just bought it". It was a tennis racket shaped object with an electrical charge. The idea is that you can swat the fly with it in mid-air or wait till it lands then put the racket' over the fly and electrocute it. Being a animal lover and having a moral code that says i can't kill anything apart from in self defence or for food if i was somehow starving, i didn't fancy killing the annoying object. Then i snapped! The dirty git landed on my packet of crisps,so i went for it! I put the racket over it and pressed the button. It started to crackle and spark. I must say,i did quite enjoy the experience. All that crackling and sparks going off was the highlight of my night! I'm thinking of buying one for my flat. A neighbour says he uses those roll down fly papers as they catch loads of the things. What do you use and do you feel bad if/when you kill the dirty gits?
