Insect Wars

When Ryan called to wish me a Happy Father's Day, he related a story about stepping on a yellow jackets' nest while mowing his lawn, and got stung several times.

I claimed to be one-up on him, because when I put on my muddy garden sneakers last week, I discovered a family of wasps had built a nest in the right shoe and nailed me several times before I could extricate my foot. My toes and the balll of my foot were swollen and itched like mad.

Ryan retorted that HE, in fact was one-up because one or more wasps flew up his shorts.

Lacking photographic proof, and not really wanting any, I leave it to the family to settle this matter. Please vote in the associated poll.
