I like those electric fly swatters that have the satifying sound of frying and suffering to them.

For those who would like to practice ...

Back in the day I used to swat flies with a saber. If I missed, I would say, "Ah, but it will no longer reproduce..."

Like Yogi said, "Hit 'em where they're not."

Thanks, ubetcha. I like the "splunch" sound when you get one.

Any of you ever mastered the "catch the fly in your hand" trick? The key is to cup your hand in front of the fly, and go right at his beady little eyes.
The question then becomes, what do I do with this little buzzer? For my old bud Marty, our fly-infested high school provided the answer in the form of our heavy geography book. Having little other use for the book, Marty learned how to catch the fly, pop the book open, toss the fly in, and slam the book shut all in about .8 of a second.
You did NOT want to have to borrow Marty's book when you forgot yours.

I've done that with a mosquito not a fly, pad. Then I squish it ;-P
(the catching, not the book splat)

Why use a swatter? Best is a 44 magnum. Of course, this is only preferable when the fly is not on anything you value.
