Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Concerning Unusual Attachments to the Diptera Order

The Scene: The dining room, shortly before supper. The table is being set by assorted children when a large fly is observed, landing audaciously on the clean plates...

Ethan: "Get him! We have to kill that fly!"

Trevor: "No wait....don't kill him !"

Ethan: "WHY----NOT?"

Trevor: "Because he's my pet!"

Ethan: "You can't have a pet fly...if you have a pet, it's gotta have a name. What's it's name?"

*brief pause*

Trevor: "Foo-foo."

*pandemonium*

We had a cat named that. I think it was supposed to be "frou-frou" but it never was. This same cat is also named "kitty" and "white kitty."

Way to save a fly, Trevor! Do we know what happened to Foo-foo the fly?

Thainamu: I think "white kitty" is so much more dignified.

Sharon: I regret to inform people that Trevor did give permission for the large and lovely Foo-Foo to get whacked. Which it did.

In short, Foo-Foo is no more.
