A Bug in the System

A good hardworking Man had only just sat down to rest one hot summer's day when a Pesky Fly flew into his face. It buzzed around his ears and stung him about the bald spot. So the Man responded by showing his tiny adversary a great meaty fist which he brought down thoughtlessly and hard between his own two eyes missing the Pesky Fly and knocking himself quite stupid.

Like the man says...

WHEN LASHING OUT AT ENEMIES TAKE CARE NOT TO INJURE YOURSELF.
