That “Splap” reminds me of a pronunciation I have always remembered for some odd reason. On the very funny British series “Keeping Up Appearances”, sister Daisy, on trying to pronounce the very difficult name of a woman Daddy is involved with, says “Mrs. Splab”…
Isn’t there an old Mary Chapin Carpenter ditty: sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes You’re the bug"? At least it didn’t get stuck on your teeth. . .
It just occurred to me that in all my years of bicycling (including high speeds down hills in the wilds) I never had a bug in my eyes. Of course, I wore glasses and felt a few hit my cheek, but my partner didn’t wear glasses and got off scot free. (He was a Scot, but still….)
Older brother, an IFR pilot, saw a bug ahead far off, it made it through the prop and splashed in his line of sight, just like when we drive clean cars.

Anybody else think of the old joke “What’s the last thing that goes through a bug’s mind as it hits the windshield?” while reading today’s cartoon?

Yup. Never fails. If you have any sort of weak spot something will strike it.

And that is why I wear protective lenses when bicycling and with the sunroof open or the top down in cars.

Back when Hondas were mostly motorcycles:
Q. How do you tell the happy Honda owner?
A: By the bugs in his teeth.
