After months of swatting flies with a sneaker and leaving dead insect smears marring the view from his apartment’s bay windows, Senior Curt Bell has decided to take a more civil approach to ridding bugs.
Spending the summer in an apartment with holey screens allowed Bell to practice his attack, which left the broad window shaking and roommates fearing him punching right through it.
“I thought for sure we’d have to replace the window – all so Curt can have the satisfaction of killing a fly,” roommate Brian Ivory stated in his regard for Bell’s ferocity.
As the dead bugs on the window seemed to attract more bugs, the apartment as a whole decided that Bell must stop using his sneaker – a size 12 Jordan – to swat the bugs. John Davis, Bell’s roommate and Environmental Studies major urged Bell to stop killing them, and steer them outside the door, to let them live in nature.
“Yeah, right, DOG,” Bell responded last night, as he slammed a glass on top of a fly, trapping it on the coffee table.
trapped, dead
Bell left it there until the next morning, when he remembered that he did in fact, actually conquer the feat of trapping a fly, and found it dead under the glass.
