Amanda vs. the fly (and the parsonage)

So we've had this fly in our house for a few days, which occasionally buzzes around and drives Amanda crazy. Before today we'd made several attempts to swat it, but to no avail. The whole fly thing kind of reminded me of the episode in Sportsnight where Casey keeps hearing a fly and no one else did (except that I did hear the fly about half of the times that Amanda did).

In any case, the battle went to a whole new level today. While I was outside cleaning out the shopvac after its war with Christmas tree needles, I returned to Amanda saying "I did a very bad thing."



Apparently, the fly tried to do a WCW-style tag team move, tagging the decorative woodworking above the sink. Unfortunately, the fly never released the tag (or expected more movement out of the woodworking). In any case, there was one death and a serious injury.

So here is a recreation of the crime scene based on eyewitness testimony:



There have been no arrests, but a person of interest in the case was heard saying "I think I need a Ferrero Rocher after that."
