A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.

    This reminds me of Winston Churchill’s famous riposte when accused of being drunk in the British Houses of Parliament:

    “You sir, are very drunk!”

    “And you madam, are very ugly! But at least in the morning I shall be sober”

    Good one! At the end of the day, the horse lives on and the fly only lives a short time… I did a search on the lifespan of a horse fly and came up with a really great site, called Horse Nation, and I quote: “The life span of a horse fly is only a few days, but by God, they’re determined to make those few days count–so smack hard and aim true.” This made me laugh 🙂 Thanks!
