Where do you buy flypaper?

R.L. — 11/14/2005 7:26:49 AM (archived)

At ACE you can get 24 units of flypaper (5 tubes of flypaper per unit) for $86.18 ( http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1375200)...

THIS flypaper you so casually joke about has cost hundreds of billions, more than 2000 american soldiers lives, uncounted tens of thousands of Iraqi lives, and cost us international trust and respect....

Perhaps the analogy that you were looking for was 'Tar-Baby', with the US playing the part of Brer Rabbit...

We are stuck there...

        So increasing amounts of terrorism doesn't mean increasing numbers of terrorists? - alcaray - 11/15/2005 9:08:59 PM
        
        No, the number of attacks is not a reliable indicator of the number of terrorists. - Tom Brosz - 11/15/2005 9:57:12 PM
