Was camping in NH and after a night of…well let’s just say it was a night of…I found a glass of nice sparkling cider. Pffft, why let it go to waste? I like juice in the AM. Drank it without realizing that a hornet decided it wanted breakfast first and was still in there. Spat it out and crushed it, but it tagged me on the tongue first. Next hour sucked. No more hornets/wasps for me.

Given the number of Simpsons episodes at this point, is this even surprising? It’s a bit like the old “an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters will eventually type out all known literature”. Which, I know the Simpsons referred to at one point. Specifically in Last Exit to Springfield, season 4, episode 17.

Seem awfully sensitive about this. Are you secretly a hive of Hornets in a trench coat?
