You know when people say “I wish I had been a fly on the wall for that conversation”? That seems to me a bit of a perverse wish. It seems to me that there is a significant problem, in that flies do not appear to me to speak English. Therefore, if you were a fly on the wall listening to the conversation you would be just as much in the dark. Presumably, to flies, we humans just make an irritating buzzing sound. Imagine how frustrating it would be to wish you were a fly on the wall for a conversation, then to discover your dream had come true, but that you still couldn’t understand what they were saying.
Plus, on top of that, you would be a fly. Instead of a human being with a nice car and a good DVD collection of Schwarzenegger movies, you would be an insect which likes feeding on excrement and lays its eggs in the bodies of decomposing animals.
Please think before you use clichés in the future people.
