Ever hear of a flyswatter, Wiz?

It was a really really big fly.

And he still missed it!

“Nothing’s more dangerous than a wounded mosquito.” (Graham Chapman line from a Monty Python skit)

I woulda thought Beelzebub sent the fly to bedevil the Wiz.

It’s where the fly belongs, with Baal zevuv, Lord of the Flies. Zevuv, zevuv, zevuv…

Shock and Awe tactics!

One does what one thinks is necessary. I’ve known people who would use nuclear weapons on garden pests.

Overkill is underrated.

“Number 37. There is no ‘overkill.’ There is only ‘open fire’ and ‘time to reload.’” ~Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlock_Mercenary

My son has a battery powered zapping fly swatter. What if it were hooked to a super large capacity battery. Whatta ZAP that would be.

Not being a vegan, probably better to call on Hades?

In my hometown in Georgia, there was a veteran who had become reclusive. And a heavy drinker. He lived in a vintaqe mobile home, think 10 feet wide. As the beer cans piled up so did the palmetto bugs and cockroaches. On a beer run, he bought a large quantity of shotgun shells. This brought about almost complete destruction of the above mentioned trailer. The bugs, not so bad.

Johnny Hart was a devout Christian. He would NEVER have done a strip invoking the “power of Hades”. Shame on the current authors!

If Henry was there, he’d of snapped that sucker up in no time at all !!!

Isn’t there sticky paper for this?

As Dilbert would say… Summoning the power of insufficient lighting from the depths of heck would probably suffice in this case.

OMG! That is my step father. He once loaded an old Army cap and ball 44 with just the powder (no shot) and killed a fly that was bugging him.

And I thought Broom Hilda was having a bad day today.

Overkill is more like sending 20 megatons to do a 100-kiloton job, and then sending more 20-megaton bombs to bounce the rubble around.
