The Bottom Line Flies are not always all that they seem...

If Only She'd Known...

BUZZ, went the fly. Then it simply went SPLAT and made no
further comment after being attacked by the evil housewife. (But aren't all housewives evil?) The dying thought of the fly was :

"There it is again. That unmistakable feeling that in a past life, I was England's football manager."

This is part of Captaind’s “Short Short” story W/O


Okay, this one probably requires a bit of explanation to non-Brits. Glenn Hoddle, England's football (soccer) manager some time ago got into trouble for voicing his belief in reincarnation (not so much that, but the idea that disabled people were being punished in this life etc...).

Much of the inspiration for this mini-saga also comes from a Far Side cartoon, where a small lizard stops on a rock and says: "There it is again! That unaccountable feeling that in a past life I was Shirley Temple".
