True story. This happened just yesterday. 
I waged war. My kitchen was swarming with flies; how, exactly, they came to overpopulate our gathering place, I'll never be sure.
But I unearthed my slightly out-of-use fly swatter and showed them who was boss. Several were taken out within seconds and, from what I could tell, there was only one remaining.
He darted to and fro.
"It's just you and me, bug. You wanna show me what you've got?" I said, hands on hips.
He landed on the back of my arm, staring up at me. And I could swear he stuck his little tongue out.
"Oh, it's on."
But I waited. I wasn't gonna smack my arm with the waffle-weave swatter, nuh-uh.
Daring to mock me further, he lifted off my tricep, spun a circle and came to rest on my... butt. My left butt cheek, to be precise. And since I'm right-handed, I knew he'd made the right move.
I calculated the movement and thought stealthy thoughts before my arm crossed my body in one fluid motion.
SMACK!
He fell to the floor.
"That'll show you, bug. That'll show you."
