The compost heap/fruit fly problem is becoming a bit more pressing. Every time I open the compost bin, hordes of drosophilae scramble from their rotting air fields and soar into my face. They are the RAF and I am the Luftwaffe.
Actually that is not a very good analogy is it? The one about the flies being the RAF and me being the German air force. For it to work German pilots would have to be flying very large aircraft in compassion to the Brits. Very large and shaped like a big middle-aged lawyer. And also, their aeroplanes wouldn’t actually be flying machines, but instead large bipedal robots capable of wading through the channel.
Actually – if you come to think of it – if Hitler had invented enormous robots in pinstripe suits that crossed the sea to invade our coasts, then we would have been toast. I would currently be typing to you in German, whilst wearing a pair of lederhosen. As it is, I am typing in English,
I am still wearing the lederhosen though.
