A prisoner at the Edmonton Maximum Security Prison, doing 40 to
life, started training a large fly to do tricks. For years and years, day and
night, for thousands of hours, he worked with the tiny insect. After 5 years
he taught it to walk across a miniature high wire. Another 5 years passed and
he taught it to ride a tiny one-wheel bike, balance on a pair of stilts and
sing songs from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. "When you and I get out of here," the
jailbird said to the fly. "we're going to tour the night-spots and make a
fortune." Finally the day arrived. With the fly safely tucked away in his
pocket, (inside its matchbox home), the ex-con made his way to a local bar to
celebrate and show off his new talented friend. Once seated at the bar, he
brought out his trick fly and placed it on the bar counter. On cue, it started
moon walking. "What about this fly, eh?" he pointed out to the bartender. In
one swift motion, the bartender reached for his copy of the local newspaper,
rolled it up and squished the fly with a mighty swipe. "Glad you saw it,"
muttered the bartender. "Blasted things are everywhere."
