Default A Flying Joke


"Dudley Henriques" wrote

Don't know whatever happened to the final white paper, but I believe it's
filed in there somewhere along with the one trying to decide if a fly lands on
the ceiling from a half loop or a half slow roll.
Believe it or not, I actually know the answer to this question.


I'm sure you know this, since you are a fly expert g but did you know that a
fly has to jump backwards to take-off?

That is why if you wait for a fly to walk forward, and swat (or catch it) you
have a chance to get it, because he has to stop and shift into reverse!

So, does the fly do a downwind take-off as normal procedure, or does he do a
downwind-into the wind take-off?

Who's on first? g
