Time to scatch those fleas.

I once heard this saying being said by someone in a movie sought of explaining to the other guy his intentions of getting rid of someone or something. The context of comparing his uncomfortable situation as to the pestilence behaviour of a flea aroused my curiousity as to why the comparison to a small, tiny insect. As always I started tapping on the google tab to give me some hits on this tiny insect. Well I mght have been disappointed because I thought all the quotes on fleas would be detrimental to the little bug. But to my surprise I found out it had some positive remarks about it. I won't show them, just search on google. Okay back to the quote above, well in this instance we'll take it that the flea was a nuisance and it had to be taken care of, not killed but scratched. The idea was to get rid of it, dispense. It had been sucking the blood out of its host so what he meant was taking care of the situation was like taking care of a flea problem.

There goes my post.
