Had some more fun while on guard duty in the army many years ago...

* Sharpen a matchstick
* Gently push the sharpened end under the wingcase from the rear - doesn't
damage the fly
* Push the other end of matchstick into the sand (fly now upright on the
"pole")
* Give the fly another matchstick (broken in half) to play with
* Voila! Instant "Pole PT"
* Lots of fun if you have a whole squad set up!

Next time you see a house fly, don't swat it! All that does is leave a
gooey
black mess on the wall or table, and it's all over in a matter of seconds.

Instead, save the sprayer from an empty bottle of glass cleaner and attach
it to a bottle of 91% Isopropyl alcohol. Give the fly a couple of good
squirts
and enjoy the action as the fly staggers around, stumbles over and
struggles
to get back up again, making odd buzzing sounds with its wings, and
finally
rolls over. If it does manage to take off, not to worry. Unlike the
Keystone
Kops chasing it around with a fly swatter, the poor old fly will shortly
be
on the floor or counter top weaving around disoriented just waiting for
you
to finish it off. Hint: try putting it in an ashtray and setting it on
fire!

Try other chemicals for other effects! A quick spray of methyl chloroform
will stop the fly dead in its tracks almost instantly! Quicker than you
can say
"Crikey!" it's frozen for all eternity, having a couple of milliseconds to
adjust
itself into its final resting posture before going to meet Beelzebub.
