Eye Knew It

Eye knew it

The dirty fly has compound eyes 
It sees in all directions
A swatter swats it anyway
So much for eye protection

Ha! Clever. So much for compound eyes. (All creatures have a right to be on this earth, but I am not a fan of flies.)

No matter how much preparation we make but if we are unaware of others perception we will fail by being unable to tackle the issue.

Ralph, this is really cute. Another thing I learned about flies: if you don't have a swatter available and have to use your bare hand or something smaller, you need to aim BEHIND the fly. He takes off by first going in reverse!! It really works!
