Too many flies, so little time

Post by ArmatageShanks »

"Too many flies, so little time"

I saw this on a sticker pasted at the back of a truck and it's been keeping me awake for days. WTH is it supposed to mean?

Perhaps it means - don't waste time on useless pursuits. No matter how many "flies" you kill - there are always more. It is a waste of time - unless you buy those fly catchers. They are awesome. They catch hundreds of flies and you don't have to do anything besides set the thing up with some warm water. Don't leave it up for too long though. The water dries up and wow - maggots appear and grow into new flies. Then you refill it and drown the little buggers :twisted:

i'm guessing something to do with fly fishing..... regardless... if the hidden meaning behind a bumper sticker is keeping you awake, seek help - with an urgency...

if you suffer from bumper-sticker induced insomnia and listen to SOAD... it's probably too late :lol:

Perhaps the driver is part of an ancient order of monks that catch flies with chopstick. :mrgreen: *queue groaning masses*

Was it by any chance a manure / sewerage truck? Then it would make sense, I guess. :?

Nope, it was one of those steel-container-carrier trucks.

When I bought Serj Tankian's solo album (lead vocalist of SOAD) I couldn't sleep for weeks. He is evil. Making my mind spin with lyrics and their true meaning is evil.

A friend suggested there might be some kind of play on words with "time flies"... :scratch:
