OK, I think that houseflies are probably the most disgusting creature on the planet.  I start off my opinion of them with general loathing.  Now I also hate and despise them.  We had to leave the beach today after a very short time because they were swarming all over us and biting.  I don’t know why us – there were plenty of people on the beach, they could have spread the love somewhere else, but at one point while my hands were full of beach stuff, there were at least a dozen on each of my legs having a feast.  All I can hope is that I wasn’t dessert after a main course of dog poop.  Gag!
