Flies - Spit or Swallow?

[badkitty]

I just swallowed one, spat one.

But have to confess that I did try to spit the first one, but not being used to such things, nearly got my own leg in the process and totally failed to evict the little git...yuk.


Should I just admit defeat and swallow gracefully, pretending it never happened, or is there a knack to spitting flies out elegantly?

I just hack up a load of spit and expectorate the winged miscreants. Not elegantly though...

Agree with that one - but better if you can get them just after entry.

The mayflies are beginning to hatch around here - big and foul tasting - yuk!

Spit every time!

That said... At least it didnt get in my eye!

(We *are* still talking about flies, right?!)

Try to spit but not always possible if they go down to deep.

With a big of jiggery-pokery with your tongue, you can manoeuvre then squish them between your incisors before swallowing. They feel like that bit of of crisp you've fished out from some crevasse in your teeth ages after the rest of them went down a treat: soggy yet crunchy.

Damn, near choked then! I read it backwards from the poster "Badkitty - Swallow or spit - Flies" Except the flies bit never consciously made it into my brain the first time

Must go find the mind soap.......

usually inhale rather than swallow. Still end up in the same place. I think

That's revolting...that's waaaaay to much interaction with the fly than I ever want...it's all a bit involved really..
Think I'd prefer spitting down myself to squishing them between my teeth...but thanks anyway.

Depends- if it is of the stinging variety then its amazing how much puff I can muster from my lungs in order to achieve a sharp exhale, however if it is of the soft squishy fly variety then I may have a wee taste before deciding wether to swallow or erm spit!!!!!

Spit every time, as above though, no elegance involved at all

Mind you, I'd forgotten what a liability the old chest wig is when careering through thick swarms of bugs

This thread is nothing without a poll.
