He felt a little off earlier in the week and decided that he could possibly resort to a thinking week rather than a week of sitting on a politician's shoulder. He found that a rather interesting way of exercising his poor demented brain was to simply put himself in other people's shoes. This also allowed a little more variety in his thinking----he could expand outside the rather cloistered world of politics if he wanted to.
The tactic The Blowfly used was to think of particular individuals and list the questions he envisaged they would be pondering. To warm himself up to the task he started with relatively simple human beings and worked his way to the more complex.

The Blowfly has found that this angle of thought has allowed him to reach outside himself and develop a level of empathy with his fellow human beings he has not previously experienced.
He can only recommend 'putting yourself in the shoes of others' to fellow travellers who enjoy congregating around the rotting refuse of life.
