Hi Alan

I ate a whole fly once; it flew into my mouth when I opened it to say something. That will teach me to not speak ever again. lol

Hi Ray:

That reminds me of my nephew when he was about 1.  His dad used to pretend to catch flies and eat them.  So one day his mother noticed he was intently playing near one of the windows of the house and said, "Robbie, what are you doing?"  He smiled at her and had wings on his front teeth.  LOL

LOL@RUTH that is so funny.

A story that an Australian relative told me about a fly. This friend of his was a very good darts player and was often challenged to a darts match by others who thought they would be able to beat him (A bit like the Aging Gunfighter scenario.)

The challenging darts player kept on asking when he could play a game against my uncle's friend and the friend became fed up with being badgered. One day he secretly impaled a dead fly on his dart when they were at the dart-board, then he stood at the toe-line. He waited until the challenger was watching then suddenly threw the dart saying 'I think I got it!' He asked the challenger to go and look. Of course he found the dead fly pinned to the dart-board. The friend was never bothered again!

LOL, Ray.  That's great.  I'll have to pass that tip along to some dart playing friends.

Hi Alan, Hi Ruth, Hi Ray!

I have one for you:

A friend of mine recounted this story to me about her son when he was only five years old. She was up late reading one night and she just happened to look up in time to see her son, who had fallen asleep on the couch, as a roach crawled into his mouth and, being asleep, he just chomped down on it and swallowed. LOL!

LOL@Miya.

You hill people sure know what is good for you don'tcha? I'll say one thing though, if one roach or a fly can constitute a meal for you, you is definitely 'low maintenance' and I could afford to take you out for dinner!
