Happy Fly


Once upon a time, there was a happy little fly

buzzing around a barn when she happened upon

a large pile of fresh cow manure.

It had been hours since her last meal and she

was feeling hunger pangs, so she flew down to

the irresistible delicacy and began to pig out.

She ate and ate...and then...she ate some more!!!

Finally, she decided she'd had plenty. She washed

her face with her tiny front legs, belched a few

times, then attempted to fly away. But alas...she

had eaten far too much and could not get off the ground.

Wondering what to do about this unpleasant situation,

she looked around and spotted a pitchfork leaning

upright against the barn wall. She'd found a solution!!

She realized if she could just climb up that handle
and jump off to become airborne she'd be able to

fly again.

So, she painstakingly climbed to the top of the handle.

Once there, she took a deep breath, spread her tiny

wings, and leaped confidently into the air. She dropped

like a rock and splattered all over the floor.

Dead Fly.

What is the moral of this sad story?

"Never fly off the handle, when you know you're

full of shit."
