3. Extra protein, I guess...
but uck...I'm not drunk. It's tough to do something like that when you're sober.

10. Share the wealth...that's what I say
especially if it's a Guinness...just because they are lower on the food chain doesn't mean they can't enjoy a frosty cold one :)

If it likes beer that much it will just hang out in your mouth when you fall asleep. Sleep tight..

4. But what if it flies out my nose?
I'm not sure I could take that. Plus, I have a tendency to grind my teeth in my sleep...

6. It won't drink much
But than again, flies are unaesthetic, so it should be removed. A red-hot poker dunked into
the beer in the vicinity where the fly was should sanitize it. The poker thing is also
supposed to do something for the beer, but I've never tried it.

9. I'm guessing the poker adds a smoky
cinder-like flavor. :toast:

7. If you have other beer, dump entire glass. If it's your last beer...
Scoop the fly and nearest surrounding beer out, count to ten, say one Hail Mary, and drink the rest. And I'm Jewish saying this. Some things only a Hail Mary can save.

11. I poured him into another glass
with a small amount of beer. Now he and his friends can all go skinny-dipping.

17. Bad joke
an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman are drinking in a pub together.

A fly lands in the Englishman's beer. He calls the barman over to get a fresh one.

A fly lands in the Scotsman's beer. He pulls out the fly, shrugs, and continues to drink it.

A fly lands in the Irishman's beer. He pulls out the fly, smacks it, and yells "SPIT IT OUT! SPIT IT OUT!"
