Serves him right the crazy little beast.

I was going downhill on a nice street when suddenly something hit the back of my thoat. And then it was gone. Lungs or digestive system?

Now I'm sat at work coughing with a mad irritation at the back of my throat, I don't know if I'm imagining it from the fly-trauma or if he is causing me to suffer. I feel like going to throw up and see if I can force the little beast out.
 
Success. I think I just forced him out (through coughing).

He doesn't look too good. He's smaller than I would have thought too from the impact on the throat.

Indeed, it'll have laid quite a few if it was there for any longer than about 5 minutes.

It's a defence mechanism. If it thinks it's about to die it goes crazy and lays eggs like no tomorrow. The sticky, warm membranes in your throat will be a lovely home for them. :)
