Tonight, I kept hearing a weird noise, and I kept thinking to myself "Did somebody trap a fly in bottle or something?"
Then I remembered.
Yesterday, since I was having trouble swatting a particularly loud fly because of where it landed, I sucked it up with my Milwaukee wet vac.
Apparently it's still trying to get out of the wet vac.
There's another fly in the room now. Might give it some company.

If its a wet/dry vac you could start a 'bug wash'....hot soapy water.

Waking up and getting out of bed at 5:45 this morning..... slightly hungover....
But at least the pork butts got on the smoker by 6:45!!!
There's a good chance they will be done in time for dinner at a reasonable time.

One of my roomies set a cup of red fruit juice on top of my wallet and hat, and of course it fucking dumped. BOTH of them sitting within 10' when I discovered it....and neither of these bitches able to man up and simply apologize. It isn't like they're responsible for gravity....right?

Buy them each a sippy cup and throw away the rest of the cups in the house.

Hearing WSP/PCSO call out obstructed license plates.....


'CHARLES THREE FIVE TRAILER BALL ZERO DAVID'

or

'SIX TWO TRAILER HITCH BOY LINCOLN'

I dunno, it's stupid, but it makes me smile sometimes.

Nope.

Different phonetic alphabets.

I got 'the talk' numerous times when I used Alpha Bravo Charlie instead of Adam Boy Charles... Dispatchers in the U.S. use the Adam Boy Charles phonetics almost exclusively..for whatever reason..
