2000 August 2, RTR, “Nasty girls!”, in alt.books.iain-banks (Usenet), retrieved 2022-05-05:I think the dreaded "cum fly" (ejaculatus aviatus insectus) is likely not immune to most insecticides. Not that it matters: generally this short-lived creature flies only once, traveling along a ballistic trajectory from its point of gestation, and then expires in a rain of sticky droplets. A simple handi-wipe or wet-nap is usually sufficient to eliminate it from whatever surface its residue came to rest upon.
RTR, obviously off his medication at the moment.
