Reminds me of an old joke. Arlo is obviously English. If he were Irish, he’d have done the same thing to the fly as to the gnat – toss it and keep drinking. If he were a Scot, he’d grab the fly by the wings and yell, “Spit it out! Spit it out!”
I actually feel minimal qualms about gnats or flies…. of course they are not pleasant… but I can usually work around their presence. But, for me…. ants…. just nauseate me. If I see them on or near anything I am contemplating consuming….. my stomach turns.
This is why drinking from a can outdoors gives me a particular sense of dread. You don’t know there is a fly in it until you feel its gross little body bumping into your lip. Or worse. Ughhh. It happens!
True story… while doing yard work, I had a drink sitting out…I took a swig, but before swallowing…something didn’t feel right..maybe felt like the liquid was moving in my mouth…I spit it out…it was a live wasp.

You don’t know where that gnat’s been.
You DO know where that fly’s been.

I’m sorry but Arlo’s reasoning just doesn’t fly.

I guess we wont know anymore about Janis’ posts on facebook from last week. Todays cartoon seems to be from 2017.

Don’t worry about it, Arlo. Alcohol kills germs.

A black fly in Arlo’s Chardonnay. Isn’t it ironic…

Did you know that a fruit fly can survive being immersed in 86 proof gin?

But the worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle would be okay.

Now I’m thinking of all the times Jon Taffer found dead insects inside liquor bottles on “Bar Rescue.”

Strain at a gnat, swallow a camel.

I have noticed that gnats really like red wine. I rarely have issues with gnats in my beer or juice but they are frequently found floating in my Cab.

Fruit flies LOVE wine!
