Healthy as a Horsefly
January 20th, 2006I groggily pulled myself out of bed this morning. As I have been sick this week, I walked over to the glass of emergency orange juice I had poured myself before going to bed.
I took three large gulps of orange juice, and continued to the kitchen. I set the glass on the counter and headed for the bathroom. When I came back and approached the glass, it looked like there were cookie crumbs in my glass. Upon further inspection, there were three dead fruit flies floating on the top of the orange juice.
I quickly spit into the sink, with no obvious result. I opted not to induce vomiting for a few tiny pests.
The real unanswerable question is: How many fruit flies were there before I got up? I can only hope the answer is three.
