Subject: Mosquitoes (rumor) Put some water in a white dinner plate and add just a couple of drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dishwashing soap. Set the dish on a porch or patio. Mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead, or fall into the water, or on the floor within about 10 ft. ( like production pig BBQ's )

Mosquitoes ( FACT )
Everyone knows that those pesky 'skeeters just hate to feel dirty. Something about a free bath that drives them to forget they are not little fishies.

I know early native American tribal leaders used to teach that "clean 'skeeters are happy 'skeeters".

Algore used to pride himself on his public stance against dirty blood suckers. Using millions in leftover Whitewater funds he personally fought to establish mosquitoe bathing areas.

The early French explorers learned to always eat lemon drops (Citron de baisses )to ward off the pesky "Moustiques". And the German settlers often told tales of the
"Moskitozitrone" or 'Tiny Lemon-flavored winged-demons of Amerika'.
So to sum up this over wrought authors saga... Eat a lemon flavored jelly bean before hiking in the woods. Or you may become victim of of what the Italians called,(and the reason Columbus came back home as fast as he could), The 'Demons Limone-conditi volo molto piccolo.
