NEXT TIME YOUS ARE OUT CAMPING OR FIXING YOUR 4WD AND A FLIE DROWNS IN YOUR BEER YOU CAN REVIVE IT.....INTERESTING

JUST GET THE FLY OUT AND COVER IT IN HEAPS (5 OR 6 TIMES ITS VOLUME) OF TABLE SALT FROM YOUR CAMPING FOOD HAMPER. LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THE FLY CEAWLS OUT........

IT EVEN WORKS IF THE FLY HAS BEEN DROWNED OVERNIGHT WHILE YOU WHERE SLEEPING IN YOUR TENTS OUT CAMPING ...

In light of this very interesting advice I will desist from wasting my beer drowning them in the first place.

Why on earth would I revive the thieving little mongrel ??? Beer in the bush is too valuable to share with the native fauna.

Hi Deanna,

LOL I think you may have solved one of the world's great mysteries. Your theory seems to have a lot of merit going on my experiences :)))

It's a well known fact that what ever or who ever drowns in XXXX BEER stays drowned, that saying about Drowning Your Sorrows, came about from the unfortunate people who drink the other Toy Beers such as VB / FOSTERS / ect, once you partake in a real beer like XXXX one dosen't worry any more because one is in Heaven.

If I could be bothered reviving one I'd then pull one wing off and let it buzz around in circles on the table - as an example to the rest!

If you pull the wings off, it then called a walk.

More to the point, I wonder how many of you fellas who have answered this thread are actually going to try and revive a fly and never ever tell anyone you tried it. It will be a secret you take to your graves, I know you are all going to try it when you are on your own, and never ever tell a soul...................lol
I know I'm gunna!

Another revival method is to perform mouth-to-mouth on it.... best carried out in conjunction with someone doing CPR.


Another fun camping party game is to catch a fly, stun him by throwing him hard on a table, then while he's laying still recovering.... take a strand of hair from someone nearby who;
A) Has hair.
B) Has long hair.

Tie a slip knot in the end and slip the fly's upper torso region through the slipknot, pulling the slipknot tight but not tight enough to behead the little guy. Wait for the fly to wake up. Holding the other end of the strand of hair, let him fly off. You now have your very own pet fly and can successfully take him for a walk or teach him to perform tricks. If taking him for a walk, please consider the environment and carry a "Poop-Bag" to clean up after him.


;-))


Cheers

Brian
