[TR] Is this a first?

[TERRY SMITH]

Funny/notfunny!


My dad used to tell the story from the '50's of driving a single cab Mack with a heavy load of logs down the tight dirt road off San Hedrin Mountain in northern California, when he felt something crawling up his jeans leg.  He was driving too fast (loggers got paid by the load) and the road was winding downhill with a cliff on one side, so all he could do was grab at it when it reached his thigh.

When he could stop, he extricated a mouse from his pants.

Coming up a country road at around 80, I felt a sharp pain in my neck, followed shortly thereafter by an equally sharp pain in my chest.  A wasp (or hornet, or whatever) had flown down my open-neck shirt and wasn’t happy.  Neither was I !!
