Hey, don’t trip. I bet flies are responsible for more than half of the mishaps that take place every day. They’re just so darned irritating!
I guess Esteban‘s cousin is no longer walking the straight and narrow path, huh?

This comic really bugged me, George!
Just this one?
See? Somebody loves what I do!
Gnaturally, Tim!
Man, what an occupational hazard. I hear gnats are the second killer of tight ropers next to flies. Don't even get me started on what those mosquitoes have been known to do.
I cannot stand mosquitoes. Primarily because IO can't feel their sting, but I sure can tell they've been there later on when those welts start itching like all get out. :@
Many years ago a colleague of my husband wrecked her car because there was a hornet in there and she is deadly allergic to them.
Even though I'm not allergic to them (I don't believe so anyway), I am deathly afraid of spiders. I was driving once and I saw one out of the corner of my eye dropping down on a web right on my arm. It took all I could to not freak out behind the wheel. I managed to pull over safely before I went thru my bout of pure, unadulterated hysteria.
I found a big spider in the bath tub of the first place my wife and I rented. We moved the next week.
I can totally believe that, Bo. The first time I ever found a decent-sized spider in my bed, it took about a week and a half of me sleeping on the floor before I got enough nerve to barely enter that bedroom again.
God created flies. Which proves the point that God…
is a vengeful God…
Flies were sent to punish us. And to teach us to live indoors.
Yet another example of how the funniest things are implied, not shown. Good job, George!
Thanks, Aidan! I kept giggling myself just imagining some tightrope walker trying to get through his feat of 'derring-do' while simultaneously battling a pesky fly.
I’m not sure a fly would do much. Did you see the guy cross Niagara Falls a few months back? He had mist hitting him.
I would think that sneezing would do just about any TRW.
I did a bit of reading recently about Niagara Falls and some of those barrel-jumpers and rope-walkers. All I have to say is this: those people are ca-raaaazy! I think I'd be scared just to get within a mile or so of the falls. Those things look massively intimidating. I can't imagine climbing inside a barrel and hoping for the best. Whoooo! o.0
Hahah! Def didn't see that coming! (must have been a midge!)
We usually get tons of no-see-ums here from spring to the end of fall. They go straight for me. Even when I'm with my husband, it's me they want. He says it's cause he's taller and wears a hat. Huh?
Of course these days. Everything from midges to blackflies are getting to be no-see-ums and I swear they sneak up behind me and bite the backs of my arms. Ninja-midges! :`) Condolences to family of the dearly departed Tight Rope Walker.
I didn't realize Northerners had No-See-Ums too.
I didn't know Southerners had 'em either, Bo. I guess that's what I get for spending my developmental years indoors with my nose stuck in a book.
I'm learning something new here. I have never heard the terms 'midge' nor 'no-see-ums' before. I'll have to ask my mom or some of my old cohorts about those phrases.
It seems like no matter what you call them, they sound like some majorly irksome pests.
No need, George. I believe most people this side of hte pond call them gnats. ;`)
You don't wanna hear what I call 'em.
Maybe we should send a swarm of flies to knock these politicians off the fence they are straddlin'.
And maybe it will help them to keep their mouths closed too.
He forgot to sing the song. Shoo fly don't bother me
Maybe he was singing that on his way down.
Balance, Daniel-san!
He's probably balanced now: totally prostrate on the ground.
I guess he didn't get anti-fly training.
You think they'd teach that in Tightrope Walking 101.
It does give a whole new meaning to the word "Fly Boy".
He flew all right. All the way down to the bottom.
That joke walks a very fine comedy line, George!
It's definitely edgy humor, Mark.
