Heck of a compliment. I was channeling an old joke about an irishman, an englishman and a scotsman, that also made its way to Tyrion and Game of Thrones. Stooges too? Cool.

Just put your finger in the glass, remove the critter as quickly as possible by getting it onto your finger. Squish it for being so arrogant, then quickly get a napkin on top of your glass to prevent any others from gorging on your good wine. Then enjoy it.

If it tastes funny, toss it. If it's fine, which is probable, drink heartily knowing you killed an evil wine thief.....

You pick it out with your finger and wipe it off on a napkin. What are you, a barbarian?

Also, if you clean up stuff in your kitchen, you’ll have fewer fruit flies. My husband is always leaving produce sitting on the counter to “ripen.”

Tell your dog to lick the fruitfly out. Then throw the fruitfly under the hood of your Nissan, and you’ll never see it again. Use the Norelco to take a picture of all the above to prove you did it. Drink the wine. It’s safe. Dog slobber kills fruitfly germs.

You’re welcome.

I am convinced that there is a fairly large group of people out there that do nothing but update Wikipedia articles on celebrities with their deaths and then sit their poised with their finger on the post button.

Any decent conspiracy theorist could figure out that the poster had gotten the schedule in advance. You don't really believe in "natural causes" and "accidents" do you?

“If a Fruit Fly flies into a glass of wine, do you keep on drinking or do you dump it out?”

I’d say it depends upon:

1. How much the wine cost

2. How hungry you are

3. How concerned you are that the fruit fly will drink more than its fair share

4. How well the fruit fly knows its wines

Zin is one of the few grape varieties that I don’t drink, so the question of what to do with a glass of zin when a fruit fly lands in it is moot.

However, I have had one of the little bastards fall into a full glass of Rinaldi Barolo and picked him out rather quickly with my finger and licked my finger so as not to waste any!

You hand it to your waiter and tell him to replace it.

Think of the starving children in Africa, and you dare throw out perfectly good protein. Shame.......>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OMG, and also I have prevented another sentient being from living out its life by not saving it from drowning!

Thanks to you now, I won’t be able to sleep at night! ( grin)

I also can muse on the fact that we are actually overgrown, huge versions of fruit flies! LOL

Its that napkin that separates us.

I just realized that I have had my automobile - a Nissan Murano - for nearly 5 years and have driven it for over 120,000 miles and I have yet to pop the hood on it even once.

Must n0t use your windshield washer much.

Do you dump the wine into the sink and pour yourself another (expensive) glass? Or do you just pretend there is no fly in there and continue drinking?

I get a spoon, scoop the fruit fly out, and then continue drinking.
