Well it's a long story but you asked
I was in bed with flu and I had bought the air pistol a couple of days before and not had a chance to try it
Before we go any further it was my own house and the room needed decorating so don't do this at home Parents don't like holes in walls
It was summer and a fly found its way into the room
Yes you guessed annoying fly , gun and a 500 box of wasted slugs
The next hour consisted of load wait for it to land, shoot, miss and start again
Then disaster struck I actualy got it a moment of guilt and then back to boredom
I then had the stupid thought that it wasn't very powerful (hadn't marked the walls much )so I covered my foot with the duvet took aim
When I told my neighbour the next day he said (after he had stopped crying with laughter)
that he had wondered where the scream had come from
In my defence all I can say Is it seemed like a good Idea at the time
