The Fly Strikes Back

Woe on me. The Fly* is back….again.

Friday evening 6.20 pm. Jolll’s phone rings… Hmm a new number.. Could be my suppliers or clients calling me.. Better pick it up.

Jolll: Hello

Fly: Harlo Joanne… How are u??

Jolll: Fine… (Who the heck is this person? Warning bells starting to sound...)

Fly: Do u know who I am?? (I hate, and I mean absolutely abhor pple who wants the other party to guess who they are. Why can’t they just identify themselves? It’s basic phone etiquette by simply saying I am so and so. What’s so hard about that? Only pathetic pple wants their identities to be speculated. Anyway I digress…)

Jolll: (Alarm bells ringing.. Ohh no.. it’s the dreaded fly…again. But no way am I giving him the satisfaction that I could recognize his voice. In my sternest, meanest, no-nonsense voice I answered) No. Who r you?

Fly: Its me, the FLY.

Jolll: Ya… Whats the matter? (Go away.. Shoo shoo.. Stop annoying me!!)

Fly: U free or not? Want to go for dinner? (1st attempt at dinner)

Jolll: No. Still busy at work. (Damn it, damn it.. I shouldn’t have answered the phone..)

Fly: Oh, u busy with tenders ah…

Jolll: hmmm…

Fly: So what time u finish work, lets go for dinner lah. (2nd attempt at dinner)

Jolll: No I am busy. (Don’t u get it? I said no already..)

Fly: Can lah, we can go for dinner afterwards mah… (3rd attempt at dinner)

Jolll: No. I have to go home after work!! (BloodyAnnoying fly… trying to push me into agreeing… No way!!)

Fly: Oh.. ok lor. Then next time lah, I buy u dinner. (4th attempt at dinner)

Jolll: See first lah… (No promises shall be made to you, even if I don’t mean it)

Fly: Can lah, next time we have dinner together hor.. (5th attempt at dinner.. still trying to get me to say yes..)

Jolll: I said I will see what happens next time. Ok, I gotta go. Bye.


The fly is back. Again. Got to get my fly spray ready at all times.
