Flea-Loh-Da (no, they are not the next hip hop/r&b posse)

Other than Tai Chi Meisters, Flea-loh-das (freeloaders) are probably the next group of people to avoid when you are hanging out @ pubs/clubs. These people are just like their names ie. Fleas. By the way, in case you are wondering, the definition of flea (as according to www.askoxford.com) says :- a small wingless jumping insect which feeds on the blood of mammals and birds

Actually, I would think that they are blood suckers on a parasite level... the irritating type that you can't brush off or pick off your skin and they do not react strongly to verbal abrasion... because they have no pride nor any sense of moral ethics.. or rather their senses are muted.. handicap in our eyes but god-sent blessings to them.

So, what makes a FLD? Hmm.. some attributes i can think about >>

1) Ability to sniff out generous targets.
2) Inbuilt mechanism that triggers a warning alert when the bill is on the way to the table.
3) Abnormally high levels of alcohol absorption.
4) Insomniacs by birth.

There is no lotion which you can apply to fend off the FLDs, nor any apparatus which you can use on them.
But there is one method (witness by watashi) which can work on them.... you wanna know? Ask me.
