an old man and a fly

Tweet

An old gentlman whose eyesight was failing came to stay in a hotel room with a bottle of whisky in each hand.On the wall there was a fly which he took for a nail.So the moment he hung the bottles on ,they fell broken and the liquid spilt all over the floor.When the landlady discovered what had happened,she showed deeply sympathy and decided to help him.Next day,when the old man went out ,she told the hotel worker to hammer a nail exactly where the fly had stayed.Now the old entered his room,the smell of the spilt alcohol reminded him of the accident.He glanced the spot with disgust,to find the fly was there again!He shuffled to it on tiptoe and slapped it with all his might.On hearing a loud cry,the kind-hearted landlady rushed in. To her great surprise,the poor man was sitting on the floor,his teeth clenched and the palm of his right hand bleeding!oops,he has made a mistake.
