Did anybody get hooked on the Breaking Bad series??  If you did or
didn't there was this one scene in the Walter's sparkling clean lab
were a fly made it in some how.  Walter takes on the challenge of trying
to kill the fly.  When I saw it the first, second, third time
and beyond I almost wet myself laughing.  It brings back memories
of the fly in my office.  Anyhow, here is the YouTube clip.
It is not the whole fly scene, just the first part.  I think just
before it went to commercial. You will hopefully appreciate the
frustration.  Be sure to go full screen to get the full effect!! :-)

Enjoy!!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZDir8UwfQs
