Southwest Airlines and Kilts?

While I understand and completely agree with the behavioral principal you're illustrating, this statement is in fact scientifically invalid. If you place a bowl of basalmic vinegar next to a bowl of honey, you will observe more fruit flies visiting the bowl of vinegar than the bowl of honey.

And a watched pot? It will boil.

Ah, but as someone who has a bit of experience with food, bblsalmic vinegar (the REAL stuff, not the cheap store copies) is nothing like regular vinegar. It is a sweet syrupy substance, very much to the tastes of the average fruit fly. Nothing at all like your average everyday vinegar.

Yep. But as a country boy, I know something else that'll catch flies. And then I don't have to waste my honey or Balsalmic, what with food prices being what they are these days.
