Trust me, there are more users that think the same way as CharlesGrey does, they just don't care to express what they have on their mind when they see the usual folks doing their *ugly* thing in one thread after another. ;)

Ouch! Worst one I had was a wasp got caught between my index and middle finger on my left hand. Stung me right in the 'webbing' between the fingers. That freaking hurt. Got one right in the nape of the neck one time as well. That wasn't very pleasant either.

OUCH! Those nasty little things can really pack a punch.

Last summer, I came across a nest of yellow jackets while mowing the grass. (They had built a nest underneath the shed). One of the critters stung me behind the ear.

When I was six, a wasp stung me on the leg. Boy that was painful. To this day, I have a bit of a phobia regarding wasps. I completely lose it around those things. Here's how bad it is: A wasp got into my car. Of course, it makes appearance known while I'm driving. On the interstate. I actually pulled off on the shoulder and quickly got out of the car. I imagine it was quite the sight.

With "friends" like that...who needs enemies?

I would change your avatar as it's going to attract more wasps and hornets:)

That's hilarious. I'm not laughing with you, purely AT you. I'm with Joe on this one. l_0_l

Nothing to numb the pain of that, not when it comes to bees. Though I did almost brain myself as a kid running home from school with chop sticks in my mouth. I was jumping over mail boxes and one mail box was too high and I ran right into it, jamming the chops sticks into the back of my throat and puncturing my sinus canal. That was great fun.

Don't run with scissors in your hands, and don't run and jump over mail boxes with chop sticks in your mouth. Tough lessons to learn at times.
