    Hey it's a Belgian fly...Bag it up. Somebody will trade for it.

    Or throw it in as an extra in a trade.:wink:

    Were you the guy twirling your mustache and drinking a pumpkin peach ale on the Budweiser Brewed the Hard Way commercial?

    That aside, I'd keep it to myself, if you bring it to the bartender's attention then EVERYBODY will want one! (yeah, old joke, I know)

    Sorry for going off topic, but how is Brussels? Where have you been drinking while there?

    I'd pick the fly out and drink the beer.

    an englishman, irishman and scottsman are sitting at a bar and a fly lands in the head of the englishman's beer. "pour this out and pull me a new one" cries the englishman. a while later a fly drops into the scotts beer. "ugh," he comlains and picks the fly out and flicks it off. Nearly a minute later a fly lands in the irishman's beer." SPIT IT OUT, YOU DIRTY BUGGER, SPIT IT OUT!!".

    that is all. i'll be at the improv all week.

    I've heard of bees and yellow jackets climbing into open cans of beer only to be swallowed...OUCH! All the more reason for serving in a glass.....

    Was probably (beer aside) my favourite place so far on the trip. Great after the madness that was Delirium!

    Delirium is nice about 10 in the morning, I love to start there. Have you hit Mort Subite?

    Yeah I think maybe I didn't time it well, I was there at around 7pm. The monastereum was pretty cool.

    No Mort Subite yet, heading to Bruges tomorrow so hopefully can make it there ok Thursday!

    It must have been a male fly that landed in your beer...

    How to tell the sex of a fly:

    A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.

    “What are you doing?” she asked.

    “Hunting flies,” he responded.

    “Oh! Killing any?” she asked.

    “Yep, 3 males, 2 females,” he replied.

    Intrigued, she asked. “How can you tell them apart?”

    He responded,
    “3 were on a beer can,
    2 were on the phone.”

    The alcohol should kill most of the fly germs and it is gross, but I wouldn't drain pour unless like 90% of the beer was gone by the time the little bastard got in there.
