>There was a fly buzzing around a barn one day when he happened
>on a pile of fresh cow manure. Due to the fact that it had been
>hours since his last meal, he flew down and began to eat. He ate and ate
>and ate.
>
>Finally, he decided he had eaten enough and tried to fly away. He had
>eaten too much though, and could not get off the ground. As he
>looked around wondering what to do now, he spotted a pitchfork
>leaning up against the wall. He climbed to the top of the handle and
>jumped off, thinking that once he got airborne, he would be able to take
>flight. Unfortunately he was wrong and dropped like a rock, splatting
>when he hit the floor.
>
>
>The moral to the story is:
>
>Never fly off the handle when you're full of shit.
