So I’m riding along to the gym this afternoon when something flys in through my visor, down inside my jacket and inside my t-shirt.Already freaking out that there is another living creature sharing my clothing with me (other than my wife) I’m hoping and praying that it wasn’t a wasp.
I guess my faith needed a little work because the little bugger started stinging me. Thankfully, I was close to my destination so one hand on the throttle and the other hand masochistically punching the crap out of myself in order to kill it, I try to complete the journey.
Then it starts to migrate downwards to my waist band and by this point I’m really freaking out. I don’t like wasps at the best of times, let alone when they’re co-habiting with me.
I pull into the car park, having nearly binned it turning into the lane, and whilst holding the area on my waist where I think it’s settled, hard enough to keep it still and dead, I start frantically undressing.
A kindly lady with her two kids, pulls up next to me and I randomly pick a conversation with her (thinking she’d seen me weaving all over the road) explaining why I am standing in the middle of the car park undressing.
Thankfully she helps me get my jacket off, bloody zips, and then retrieves a wasp ease spray from her car. You have to love mothers who are prepared for everything.
After taking my t-shirt off I extract the, now deceased, wasp and proceed to tap dance on it. Just in case.
You’ve been striping off in public so a stranger can appy something to you in a car park - you know how dodgy that sounds ;):P:) If I didn’t know you I’d think you were making an excuse :hehe:
Well, as they say, survival of the fittest It gave me its best shot, you have to give it respect for that
I forgot to mention the stream of bad language that poured out in one incoherant sentence. Plus, when it did reach my waistband, I genuinley considered taking the rest of my clothes off and standing in my shreddies to try an extricate it. I just didn’t want to have to explain that to a magistrate when I got arrested for indecent exposure
Feel for ya mate!:w00t: Try having one go in yer lid and head directly for ya ear!
the last time it happened i was bombing along a country lane and nearly ended up in a ditch…all my mates thought it hysterical though it stung me 4 or 5 times hence me getting the nickname…
