Small?
Recently we had a discussion about bugs, flies and mosquitoes. Several of you suggested solutions to deal with these little pests.
The next morning while sitting up in bed with my constant companion (the radio), the following line from ‘Thought for the Day’, caught my attention and I just had to share it with you.
“If you think you are too small to be effective,
You have never been to bed with a mosquito!”

Grannymar,
Speaking of bugs, How about the guy who kept a centipede (Thousand legger) as a pet. He had him in a little box.
One day he called to the thousand legger. “Want to go for a walk?” No answer. He waited a few minutes and called again. “”Want to go for a walk?” No answer.
Finally he went over and tapped on the lid of the box. “Want to go for a walk?’ The lid flew off the box and the centipede said,” I heard you the first time. I’m getting my shoes on.”

Grannymar,
I got a mosquito bite on my finger while in France and thought of you…
Do you think I could remember what the remedy was?
I had to wait till I got home to find out it was S-O-A-P. I won’t forget again!
@ Nancy - Good one!

Morning all, are you thinking that I was ignoring you or that I spent yesterday searching for a mosquito in my bed?
It is a holiday weekend here in Northern Ireland so I was having some lazy ‘ME’ time.
@Darlene -
@Magpie - You mean I was the early bird for once?
@Nancy - It takes me that long tp put my shoes on nowadays and I have only two feet!
@WWW - I am honoured!
@Steph - Now if you had only taken me with you…..!

Man traps animals and birds and other humans in nets for various purposes. But, he gets inside a net to avoid a mosquito!
