    Just try not to swallow the fly. I’ve heard if it gets inside you, the only way to get rid of it is to swallow a spider

    That depends on what score the judges gives the fly.

    Below 5, drink away, he was holding his team back.

    5-7, still no big loss, but showing improvement, so if you can remove the fly, he might perform better next time.

    8-9, his team will take a big hit if you drink him, you should immadiately rescue him.

    10, it is your duty to not only save him, and for the next 17 days you are responsible for acting as his bodyguard

    Lol … I was born and raised in northern Ontario. I’m indigenous and I’ve spent a lot of time in the northern wilderness which has lots and lots of swamp land and in the summer hosts billions of biting insects.

    My parents were born in the bush so life out there was normal for us.

    I remember spending summers out camping in July with clouds of black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, midges and sand flies… when we drank a cup of tea by the fire, you first had to skim off the drowning insects before taking a sip.

    I think one fly in your wine is OK
