I sat on a yellow jacket once. The sucker landed on my bike seat, and I did not notice. Stung me in the butt like a mofo.

:music:I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machette to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
And at the city bank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket:music:

Short Skirt/Long Jacket

Beestings suck, so have some CAKE!

OP, we've told you before...stop trying to give hornets, bees, and wasps blow jobs. You won't get any more "honey" that way...:p

I've been stung inside my ear when I was little, it sucked.


The worst I think are the people who get bees inside their drinks and get stung inside the mouth or throat. Fortunately, that never happened to me, but it did happen to quite a few of the others back in scouts.


I like fire.


That happened to my son when he was about 5. We were working outside and he left his soda can unattended. He took a drink and got a mouthful of pissed off yellowjackets. Fortunately, they ONLY stung him in the mouth, and he was able to spit them out instead of swallowing them where they might have stung him in the throat. It still took me a while to get all the dammed stingers pulled out of the inside of his mouth. Fortunately, he didn't inherit my bee-sting allergy.

I've been stung before by yellowjackets and I'd get swelled up where stung but otherwise no big whoop.

Then two years ago I was using the leafblower in the yard and inadvertently started blowing a yellowjacket nest. They did not appreciate this gesture and thus began to congregate around me then finally started stinging me. I ran like a little schoolgirl into my house with a posse of these yellowjackets in tow and some even followed me inside continuing to sting me once I thought I was safe.

It didn't seem too bad once I was convinced all the yellowjackets inside were dead and I was safe as I only counted about 7 or 8 stings. But shortly thereafter I began to develop bright red hives all over my body, I started itching like crazy all over and I felt incredibly warm and felt like my heart was palpitating. I went to the ER and got an IV and some drugs pumped into me and the symptoms started going away but it was quite a scare.

Most people won't show allergic symptoms to the first sting. The allergies develop following that. So, he might be allergic now.

True, but technically he was not stung by a bee.
