I Loved My Job
I met many fascinating people.
As you see I worked  out of a sliding window....
and it was really more convenient to keep it opened.
Until one day
So here I was in a 12 by 14 room
Full of  Man Eating Flies
I mean a whole family of them.....

   I would Slowly  creep up, on my tip toes, holding a rolled up newspaper, because you don't really have a fly swatter when you really need one....
and  also forgetting that the security cameras were watching me...
Here I was lurching at them, missing,
I even think I heard them snickering...
I knew they had eyes in the back of their heads..just like the  little 'mothers' that they were.
Then I remembered what my six-year-old granddaughter told me {bless her heart}
"That every time a fly lands ~ it poops...!"
Well that was it
I was on the war path now  !
So I pretended not to see them..Ya know..the  sneak attack.
with paper in hand and arm extended ready to strike, there came a knock on the window behind me,I let out a whoop..which ruined my sneak attack.

Next I tried the nonchalant attack
I just sat there, letting them sniff and poop on me ~ after hitting  myself in the leg a dozen times ~ I decided it was  WAR
Them OR  Me
I just started striking out at all of them.
I know of two nails in the wall that will never fly again.  LOL
Next I tried the  Decoy Plan
I put an onion ring on the floor in the corner,
Go FIGURE...something like cow manure draws them..But a big juicy onion ring has no effect... trust me...
