She kept telling me that

you attract more flies with honey

than vinegar. 

But you know there are many things that attract flies:

Dung

Garbage

Rotten fruit

Clogged sink traps

Road kill

Sewage

Unclean animals

Corpses

Makes me wonder why one would want to attract flies?

They carry disease

They are pests

They lay eggs

They can bite

I guess it is a fitting description 

Because the anecdote is the calling

Of every passive-aggressive out there.

They would believe in using sweetness 

to bring down the plague upon your head.

Nope, I would rather keep the vinegar thanks.
