The Fly

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why, she swallowed a fly, perhaps she'll die.

I am sure she wouldn't have died if she hadn't then swallowed the spider, bird, cat, dog, cow, and horse. Of course she died after all that! It is possible to literally eat yourself to death (I saw it on an episode of CSI, so it must be true).

I think she swallowed the fly because it just flew in and landed at the back of her throat, when that happened, her throat automatically swallowed.

I now have a theory as to why she swallowed that fly.Yesterday, I was outside talking on the phone when a fly flew into my mouth! Those darned things just go where they want. My friend thought this was hysterically funny, but I was not amused (insert Rose Tyler imitation here!).

I apparently think faster on my feet than the old lady. I sputtered and spit and thankfully got rid of the dead fly. I'm also smarter.  Even if I had swallowed the fly, I would not have then swallowed a spider to catch the fly because I know the spider would have crawled right back up my esophagus once it caught the fly!

You do have to admit that little old lady had a big mouth. I could never have swallowed a horse, even if I wasn't stuffed by the bird, cat, dog, and cow.
