Wierdest thing happened to me last night.

[OAITW r.2.0]

As I normally do, I went to bed, Stripped to my boxers, got into my flannel bed sheets....god, I do love my flannel sheets....and settled in for my expected sleep.

Then I got stung. At first. I thought, "wtf is this?" Like a piece of hot metal burning into my back. Then I knew...it was a friggen bee that was pissed with my sleeping decision. Probably, my 1st sting in 20+ years.

So I laid there in bed for about an hour. in the dark, thinking about that bee sting in my back, my brain refusing to shut down. Eventually, I went to bed and no lasting results in the AM.

Moral: Always check your sheets..

1. Moral for the bee:

Stake out the bed the night before so you know what to expect. All parties benefit that way.

3. It was a Dumbobee.

He stung, but I killed.

5. Well, Dumbobee. Never heard of them but they sure sound dumb.

You need smarter bees. Good luck.

6. It's an evolutionary thing.

2. I once got stung by a bee while I was programming in an environmentally-controlled computer lab

Must have followed someone in.

It quietly lit on my thigh and, even though I was wearing shorts, I didn't realize it was there, and i crossed my legs.

So I guess I inadvertently stung myself with a bee....

4. I got stung by a wasp once when I was in a closet,

Cleaning the litter box. Go figure.

7. I opened my back door

and a bee flew in and stung me on the hand while I was just standing there.

I hang my sheet outside to dry but I give them a couple minutes in the dryer to make sure there aren't any insects hiding in them.

9. They are stupid fuckin' assholes.

No greater good for this world, as far as I can tell. 65 years of thought on this subject.
