The old "The fly in the ointment..." trick.

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour. (Ecclesiastes 10:1)
For four centuries, 'a fly in the ointment' has meant a small defect that spoils something valuable or is a source of annoyance. The modern version thus suggests that something unpleasant may come or has come to light in a proposition or condition that is almost too pleasing; that there is something wrong hidden, unexpected somewhere.

Well said,and well chosen opening words(your response to my post).
