But that one was very patient.

But decided there are some places you just don't lay a maggot.

(905 posts)17. Actually...
Laying MAGATS (lol) is the more likely explanation for why the fly "nested" in his creepy hair as long as it did. Could have squirted out at least 150 eggs in that timeframe.

Much entertainment has been derived from said fly.

While Mr. Pence spent most of the 90-minute debate avoiding direct questions posed by the moderator, Susan Page of USA Today, the fly brought up a slew of questions of its own.
Who will play the fly on Saturday Night Live? (Pete Davidson seems a good choice.) Is the fly liable to catch the coronavirus that has infected so many top Trump administration officials? Was the fly breaking debate protocols by not wearing a mask?

He was unaware of the fly (or he sure seemed to be) and it was funny watching it get settled into Pences closely cropped hair. Like it planned to take up residence. After two minutes even the fly knew to move along like voters are doing now leaving tRump and Pence in the dustbin of history.
