Those of you who know me personally (or follow me on Facebook) may have heard that a couple of weeks ago I was stung at least a dozen times by wasps.
Ironically, I wrote this gag a few days before that happened. Honestly, though, I don’t have a problem with bees. Wasps, however…ugh. They’re trying to kill me.
Want proof? A few years ago, I was stung on the back of my head by a wasp. While attempting to run away from it, I fell on the sidewalk and broke some of my ribs.
I’m convinced that I was “double teamed.” One wasp stung me and another tripped me. Yes. They’re that mean!

The bird on the left: “Yeah, I can’t tell which one of them is trying to feed the other one either. But the way their cheeks keep puffing out, that must be one big worm they’re trying to force down their throat.”

The bird on the left: “Okay. On three…I’ll poop on his shoulder. Fred, you aim for her hairdo.”

The bird on the left: “I got his wallet! Let’s jet before he notices!”

The bird on the left: “What’s funny is that they were both here yesterday doing the same thing. But at different times and with the same guy.”
Hi John & Shelagh:
Humid lazy July greetings from Southwestern, IL where wasps abound this time of the year! Uggh..sorry about that.
Thank you for the perfect birthday last kiss card for James. He was astonishingly surprised and is very grateful to both of you.
I immediately displayed it prominently & proudly displayed in our guest bath room.
Guess what? We had dinner guests last week…the wife saw and read it..came back to dining table laughing outrageously, told us, esp her husband what that was all about. They both used the bathroom at the same time. I told them there were two sinks.The husband had to go back and looked at the card and he came out laughing even more outrageously, claimed he recognized the artist, his “favorite cartoonist,loves his cards”..blah blah blah!
We disclosed you are “family to us”..and we to you..,.the rest is history. Serendipity!.Thank you so much for indulging
us .
Keep it up…i mean keep the world at mirth…and awake and more..
