    Smile and ask her if you have something in your teeth?!

    I would pop out my smartphone and track the calories.

    How many grams of protein in a fly?

    I would have called the waitress over, pointed it out, and asked for a fresh drink.

    Proper Etiquitte doesn't require that you eat a dead fly.

    Exactly, having discreetly removed the fly from my mouth to my napkin, I'd be calling the waitress/waiter over and making them aware of the problem calmly and without making a fuss. Or excused myself from the table and asked for the manager out of the hearing of my table mates if it was very formal.

    Run, screaming out the door, leaving the remaining guests to fend for themselves.

    Welllllll, if it was me I would have:

    a) discreetly taken the offending fly out of my mouth whilst covering it with a napkin
    b) called over the prettiest waitress I could see
    c) show her the malodorous insect and say
    d) "I'm afraid I will have to return your generous gift because it's rather unsafe to drink and fly"
    e) watch as she giggles
    f) get her number
    g) meet her for a drink after her shift finished
    h) end the evening doing the horizontal hoolah

    (authors note: this is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead or previous events is purely coincidental.)

    Actually sitting laughing at work, haha!!

    Gross me out the door!! I think I'd be getting a free meal at least, I wouldn't freak out but I would let management know for sure.

    I'd have made a huge hilarious deal out of that situation - give everyone something to remember and maybe turn some acquaintances into friends

    Oh I'd flip. Nice place or not. I'd probably actually throw the hell up.

    Spit it out into something, I don't think I would even think about the other guests at that point lol and if they don't like it tough, its a fly! Maybe caution them afterwards to check their own drinks.
