Title: Nuking the Flies

Ordinary houseflies can be killed by:

certain bacteria,
fly swatters,
hammers,
hand grenades,
500 pound bombs,
and Hydrogen Bombs.

Each of these weapons is extremely effective in Exterminating houseflies …

THE PROBLEM IS THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE WEAPON SELECTED.

Thus, when faced with a Problem,

the Enlightened General

selects the Smallest Weapon which will Do the Job …

WITH THE FEWEST SIDE EFFECTS.

Or in short, “DON’T NUKE THE HOUSEFLIES.”
