It's not a video but it is fun (to me):

Although I make no guarantees I have downloaded and the file was checked by McAfee for virus. I'm also running a couple other virus checkers that didn't object but, and of course, use at your own risk, says Sparrow, the despoiler!

Do you know the exceptional method for killing flies?

I learned as a youngster somewhere, maybe my dad told me, I dunno, but I learned that flies jumped backwards as they took off. So what you do, is:

• Wait for a fly to have landed
• Slowly place your hands palms toward each other near the fly to enclose like you have built fences out of your hands -- close, but not close enuf to make the fly jump up and fly away
• Slap / Clap your hands together. BUT as you do don't clap straight above the fly (compensate for their predicted backward jump direction)
• Draw your hands backward from the direction the fly's face is pointed
• Kill the fly with your death stroke in the kill zone - the fly will jump backward and upward to your targeted position.

They jump into the kill zone; just above and behind where the were when they sensed their impending doom.
BANG(!) dead fly number 103 of 127 and counting! That's a record. Call Guinness, I wanna beer! But not before I wash and sanitize my hands. YECH!

Your "flavorite fry" video was down on page 3...

But our now locked 'Sabbath Day business' is locked in deed under yours on page 3 (before this bump) .

Do you have a slow motion video of a fly getting hit with a fly swatter?

This is the best I can do right now, lol.

Yo, Sparrow. Watch this...
