There's always someone swinging at a gadfly. Everyone thinks they've got a score to settle, especially your heavy hitters*.

Gnat King Cole used to say: "It's Gnat for everyone."

It's called gnatural justice.

We like to say "The bigger they come, the harder they fall."

A gnat is a slugger's biggest fan.

Little things count a lot ... even if they don't count for much.
