6. The Human or the Fruit Fly?

Here's a situation that I'm sure we've all been in. I thought about it on zee bus.

So there's a fruit fly and some guy. This "some guy" is walking down the street with his mouth carelessly gaping open--his jawis dropped. Suddenly, he hears the piercing sound of sirens drawing nearer and nearer. Though he had not done anything wrong, he decides to run, naturally. His mouth is still open.
This guy isn't running, but he ought to be. At least his mouth is open.

So the guy is running with all the manly strength in his calves and in his thighs, and suddenly to his surprise, he feels something glide into his mouth, ever so gently. Yes, it was ever so gently. At first, he thinks, "Maybe it's some left over food that I just sucked out from the gaps in between my crooked teeth." Then, he bites down. It's crunchy, then wet, then bitter, and then something with a texture like slushie.
He had just begun the mastication of the poor fruit fly! That poor, poor man. Well, that is the question, isn't it? Right now, (audience), are you thinking "poor fly" or "poor man"? I'm willing to bet your life savings that you're thinking "poor man." Let's take a better look at this situation through the perspective of the fruit fly.

So a fruit fly is walking down the street with his mouth carelessly open. Same situation, different character. I'll skip all the details. Suddenly, a miniature sized human blows into his mouth, provided the fruit fly is now human sized. Now, are you thinking "poor man" or "poor fly"? I'm willing to bet that you are STILL thinking "poor man."

I am almost positive that the fruit fly had no problem with the miniature human flying into his mouth, so what rights do we have to complain? Think about that next time.

In other news, I really hate physics. And now stats. KILL MEH NOW.

Night...
