A Fly Never Commits Suicide

In all honesty I am not really sure wether flies commit suicide or not… I mean, we’ve all seen that errant fly slam into a wall, often multiple times in a row, and this could be an attempt at ending its life. After all, with an eye for every direction on the compass, it is highly doubtful a fly ever simply just doesn’t see a wall right ahead of it…

When I was 14 and at Summer Camp (which is better known as Hell for many of us homosexuals… real camp at least… the idea is sexy, the reality is far from it…) every morning at breakfast I had a pet fly that came and sat on the lip of my milk-box. Though my bunk-leader told me that not only was it unsanitary, but likely a different fly each day, I knew it was the same one and that he was very clean. I never gave him a name, but I still think fondly of him from time to time whenever someone tells me I’m doing something unsanitary.

Incidental note: People who religiously guard themselves from any sort of dirt or bacteria are chronically ill… this is because when something does get through, their body has never seen it before and has no defense to stop it. I never get sick, and this is because I am notoriously nonchalant as far as incidental cleanliness goes (i.e. I shower daily, but I’ll eat meat that has been sitting out for a few days and only wash my hands under certain circumstances after using the bathroom. All you guys know good and well that if you flip it out, shake, and flip it back in, the hands never touch the… you know… and I always use the sole of my shoe to flush in public bathrooms… ok, that’s plenty of written content for this work… on to the next.)
