A Thin Line

A Thin Line

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! :)

  2. tmcelmurry says:

    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.

    • George says:

      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.

    • George says:

      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. :)

        • George says:

          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. :o

    God created flies. Which proves the point that God…
    is a vengeful God…

    Yet another example of how the funniest things are implied, not shown. Good job, George!

    • George says:

      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. :D

  6. 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. :-)

    • George says:

      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.

  8. gatorhead says:

    Maybe we should send a swarm of flies to knock these politicians off the fence they are straddlin'.

  9. Tony McGurk says:

    He forgot to sing the song. Shoo fly don't bother me

  10. Balance, Daniel-san!

  11. Binky says:

    I guess he didn't get anti-fly training.

  12. gatorhead says:

    It does give a whole new meaning to the word "Fly Boy".

  13. Mark Stokes says:

    That joke walks a very fine comedy line, George!
