His trusty magic wah … uh … fly swatter.

That’s where Judge Judy learned that trick. She occasionally wields a fly swatter to get an annoying insect. Her original instrument is not a wand but a pen.

I have always thought that “Lumos” was a good spell.

I love when tools have two completely different unrelated uses. You can also use it to turn your hamburger patty over on the grill. (BEST BEFORE you use it for this purpose though.)

Who knew his wand was a multi-tasker?

still like my electronic one better……

I agree with ya, Wiz. Good thing I don’t have to deal with flies anymore now that the weather’s frigid.

Reminds me of my recent annoying experience with a stink bug. Found him crawling up the side of my evening scotch & water. The cocktail glass was all wet with condensation – don’t know how he hung on, must have really been thirsty. He gave me the one finger salute as he was being “flushed”.

My gramma’s (Methodist minister’s wife) was always, “Go to Jesus!”

It is truly hard to beat the effectiveness of a good fly swatter. SplatterKaDabra!

Gotcha!

Incantations are best if they do something useful.

An incantation has to be spoken.

Less is more.

I need an incantation that makes the flies go away. The flies here will take the fly swatter away from you and chase you.

One day they may grow to giant proportions and get even…

Sometimes you can’t improve on the tried and true.

Before my house was re-painted inside, the woman who cleans my house asked me what was on my wall around my large living room windows. I said those were dead flies. She asked me why I left them there, and I said it was a warning to others. Nothing is allowed to fly inside here. They are welcome to leave, otherwise, they are a trophy.

I need one of those…
