deaneWe have quite a few European paper wasps around where we live and they are frequent house guests in the spring and summer whenever the doors and windows are open. In all the years that we have lived here, neither of us has been stung by the wasps.
Until today.
There must have been a small wasp sitting on my wallet, or perhaps nestled snugly within its creases, because as I was sliding the wallet into my pants pocket I felt a sudden, sharp, burning pain in the ring finger of my right hand. In terms of intensity I'd rate it higher than the gallstone attacks, but still below migraine level. Fortunately the most painful part only lasted for about two minutes and within ten it had mostly abated. If you took ten of those, spaced about a minute apart, I think you'd finally have something that beats migraine pain.
The paramour found the wasp lying on my desk, dying. The poor thing must have gotten crushed when I pushed the wallet into my pocket.
