A short story

Recommended Posts

As a kid I was a mean little shit. (still am actually) One day I was out as usual terrorizing an threw a rock at a wasp nest. One flew out and straight to me stung me on the lip. Turned out I was allergic to the venom and spent 2 weeks in a coma. Present day. I was sitting under a shade tree the other day, enjoying the breeze and a cold one when here comes a wasp. He parks a foot from me on the tree trunk. I look at him he looks at me. I continue enjoying, he continues rooting around the bark for a good while. We look at each other again and say goodbye. He flys away and I go in the house and take a nice nap. Anyone get my drift here?
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Naahh... The moral of that story's a bit too subtle for me.

My mate Dubbie (Not THAT Dubbie, another one), sez you should have stamped on the little bastard while it was alone - that's how you deal with the little sods; one at a time.

Maybe if you hammer a coupl'a nails through the end of that baseball bat of a moral, then I'll get it!:)

you should have made up a story about wasps trying to attack the local population and then blew up the block the nest was on ?

Actually it is a true story;)

I've had this happen several times. It always gives me a kick. Next time you have a yellow jacket bothering you while you eat, do the following:
1) Take a small piece of watermelon/fruit and put it to the side.
2) Take a very small piece of meat, put it next to the watermelon/fruit.
3) If you don't have watermelon/fruit, use a kids "sweet drink" and pour a little bit away from you.

Usually, they find it and leave you alone. Also, they _always_ take the meat. You can watch them cut a cube just big enough to carry, then they'll lift off, struggling away to go back to their nest.
We are all engines of karma
