The Fly

There was fly buzzing around a barn one day
when he happened on a pile of fresh cow manure.
Due the fact that it had been
hours since his last meal,
he flew down and began to eat.
He ate and ate and ate.
Finally, he decided he had eaten
enough and tried to fly away.
He had eaten too much though,
and could not get off the ground.
As he looked around,
wondering what to do,
he spotted a pitchfork
leaning against the wall.
He climbed to the top of the handle
and jumped off, thinking that once
he got airborne he would be able to take flight.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
He dropped like a rock,
splattering against the floor.
The moral to the story:
Never fly off the handle when you know you're full of shit.
