SWAT Team

Did you think you were going to see a spanking picture?

What else is it for?

The warm weather is finally here! Today I wore shorts for the first time this year, and we have been very busy outside all day. Ron was cleaning out the garden shed and found the flip-flop you see above.

"Does this serve any useful purpose?" he asked as he held it up.

"Well, it's supposed to be a fly swatter," I reminded him. I wasn't brave enough to say what I had really intended it to be used for, so I just mumbled, "I bought it as a joke."

"It's going out in the next CP pickup. Are we done out here?"

I nodded in reply, turned and started walking towards the house. All of a sudden I heard a loud SMACK as the sandal connected with my right bottomcheek. I turned to Ron and grinned as I hugged him and said, "It took a while, but you finally figured out what its other purpose was."

Swat This

Recently I attended a work-related seminar. The subject wasn't particularly interesting, but the presenter did manage to catch and hold my attention for a while. He was talking about a business course he had taught, and a key concept that was contained within the acronym S.W.A.T. He told us what the letters stood for, but I was so startled I forgot to write it down. For the next few minutes I was totally entranced as he came out with phrases like:

Solve all problems with a SWAT
Everyone learns how to SWAT
At graduation everyone knows how to do a SWAT
Use a SWAT for everything
SWAT is the perfect tool
The world according to SWAT

He had me convinced. I already knew that a good SWAT was a great way to solve a problem.

I gave this guy lots of praise on the evaluation form I filled out at the conclusion of the day. 

I Feel a Swat Coming On

According to the BBC, a fly can sense an impending swat, plan ahead, and ultimately avoid it.
We spankees could learn a thing or two from flies.
