One mildly amusing, one sad.

At about the same age I had a peanut butter sandwich, and went outside without properly cleaning my face. A wasp landed and ate it off while I sat there petrified.

I took no harm, but it was not an experience that I intend to repeat.

The other story is the sad one A friend of my mother's in the 60's was drinking a cup of coffee in which (unbeknownst to him) a bee had drowned. The corpse stung his throat as he swallowed. He choked to death. :-(

Cheers,
Ben

The sad story is that indeed. No question about getting a big fat tongue after the sting.
