#357: Flies explain

Flies

[Cueball is typing on a computer, and his friend is lying on the floor.]

“Noob” (on computer): *$@#!

Friend: Hey, ease up on the noobs. Like my mom always said, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

[Cueball has turned his chair around.]

Cueball: No, you don’t.

Friend: You don’t?

Cueball: Nope, set out a bowl of balsamic and a bowl of honey. The vinegar gets more.

[Cueball’s friend is now sitting on the floor.]

Friend: …Seriously?

Cueball: You have fruit flies. Try it yourself.

Later:

[Cueball’s friend is standing in front of a table, talking into a phone. On the table, there are two bowls, and the bowl on the left seems to be surrounded by flies.]

Friend: Mother! You lied to me! And it gets worse. I was watching a pot yesterday, and guess what it did? It boiled, mother.
