I like to take them on the wing. Expand There's the old tale of Creekbottom Joe, his paw and grandpaw. They've got a fly problem, so Joe chaws some plug, and lets fly. Down comes a fly. "Dang, boy" says his paw, "ya gotta practice." His shot nails six. "Children!" contributes grandpappy. His doesn't down a thing, and the fly goes on its way, buzzing in a high pitched tone. Joe and his pa eventually stop laughing. "I thought you said..." gasps the lad. " Well it was a kind act" grandpaw replies. "It'll never breed again, though." Quote

It has to go through the customs and paperwork which ever place it come from. Thats why there is a row about it and nightly riots on our streets Expand Boris wants to force things by adding a tunnel to you. Might get interesting halfway, though, because that's where they dumped all the unwanted munitions at the end of WW2. Revenge for the cost overruns on London's Crossrail? Without a doubt. Anyway, I can't see the EU stopping an HST for six months... Quote

Expand Washington state is the "Evergreen State". But that only applies to the strip between the Cascades and the Pacific. 2/3 of the state is desert. Those that live on the west side of the mountains are know by the rest of us as "Wetsiders". They flee the rainy, wet side where they live, to play over here. They are a blight like locusts. They make life a living hell for us and we hate them. We wish they would all die and leave us in peace. THAT is a "Wetsider". Quote
