Where do fruit flies come from? There were none just a moment ago, and then there were many, almost as if they had spontaneously appeared and multiplied out of nowhere, and are now having a great feast on the kitchen counter, all in the space of a short amount of time. But then again, what is time to a fruit fly? They eat, make babies, and die, just like us.
A few doors away, there lives an annoying lady who lets her dogs out- one black, one brown, every morning, hoping they’d go for a walk on their own. Alas, behind her back, they threaten innocent people who are out on their morning walks. They even hang around the convenience store, giving passersby 'the look.'
“Uncle, beware of those dogs- they can get aggressive,” a young lady said to an old man.
“I’m not afraid of those buggers!” he said to her, waving his walking stick in the air.
He ended up taking a longer route to his favourite breakfast stall to avoid the dogs, but he was sure he made quite an impression on that pretty young lady.
Someone on the internet said to add some dish soap to some beer in a glass, and then cover it with a holey saran wrap. The soap breaks the surface tension, so the fruit flies won’t be able to stand on it. But they don’t know this, and so they end up drowning in beer, wondering how they got things all wrong. It seems quite cruel, but such is life, especially when your sanity is at stake.
I am not sure if those dogs still terrorise the neighbourhood, and I don’t know if that annoying lady has a problem with fruit flies, but I do know they’re supposed to be related somehow, just like you and I.
