Do you ever think about killing insects and the impact it has on their world? And we don't mean that in the whole "save the insects" Buddhist way. We're just saying that maybe the bug casualties go down in history like a bomb going off in Iraq in our world. For example, we just killed a good 50 or 60 ants by pouring water on the bench and sponging them away. I wonder if the ant colony is like "we lost 50 ants today in the Tuesday ant massacre of 2011. The blonde one first swamped the working force by pouring 6 to 7 drops of water on the food boulevard, and the brunette one proceeded to swipe away the corpses and floundering men with a green 'anti-bacterial sponge,' commonly known as the food sweeper. The bodies are currently being brought back to the colony and a memorial service will be held tomorrow, with key figures such as Ant Clarke and Ant Key in attendance." Or what about that time we got the exterminator in? The insects would have been like "The 2010 house bomb killed 90% of residents in the Munroe household. Fears that the man in the suit will strike again are causing residents to flee to neighbouring bush and doormats. Get it? 'Flee'? I made a wee pun there." And then all the newsroom bugs will laugh at the truly funny grammatical observation.
Anyway, all we are saying is that next time you go to roll up a newspaper and attempt to end the life of that fly that's been sitting on your knee for the past half hour on and off, spare a thought for the truly funny newsrooms antics that will take place later in the newsroom. Get it, 'antics'? It's two types of bugs - ants and tics!!
So now we must fly (hehe), but we will hop on back soon and provide you (our one follower) with some more truly funny observations.
