IJMC The Fly

                             IJMC - The Fly

Oi. After the party I was just at, this is so appropriate. I need a bed 
and lots of sleep. Unfortunately (but usually) alone. Awh, poor   -dave




There was a fly hovering over the water.

Just under the water was a fish. The fish thought that if the fly was just a
1/2" lower, it could catch a meal.

Just off the bank, in the water was a big brown bear. The bear thought that
if the fly was just 1/2" lower, the fish would move a 1/2", that he could
catch a nice meal.

The man, with a hunting rifle, looked at the situation and thought if the
fly was just 1/2" lower, the fish moved 1/2", this would make the bear move
1/2" to the right, so he could make a clean shot at the bear for a great rug.
The mouse, seeing the situation, thought if the fly was just 1/2" lower, the
fish moved 1/2", this would make the bear move 1/2" to the right, the man
would shoot the bear, which would move the man just enough to make the
sandwich to fall from his pocket onto the ground for a nice meal.

The cat, seeing the situation, thought if the fly was just 1/2" lower, the
fish moved 1/2", this would make the bear move 1/2" to the right, the man
would shoot the bear, the man's sandwich would fall from his pocket onto the
ground, which would move the mouse just enough to pounce on the mouse for a
nice meal.

As they were all thinking this, the fly moved 1/2" lower, the fish moved
1/2", the bear moved 1/2", the man shot the bear, the man's sandwich fell to
the ground, the mouse moved, the cat pounced and missed the mouse rolling
into the water.

The moral of the story is that there is a lot that needs to happen before a
pussy will get wet.
